earth sciences,education and reference,environmental science,nature and ecology,science and math, Does the world need another naturalist's field guide? It's a terribly crowded genre, but if the field guide in question is Mary Blocksma's Naming Nature, the answer is a resounding yes. Blocksma ordinarily writes for children, and her patient, warm-hearted explanations of why nature works the way it does are just right for the curious adult as well. ("I've been sharing my cabin with several hundred spiders this summer," she writes, "and I've found them to be quite retiring.") Blocksma argues along the way that we could all use some "natural literacy" to go along with the cultural literacy that's lately been bandied about. She's right, of course, and her book, which favors the Midwest and Atlantic Seaboard regions of the United States, is a lively start.

From blue moons to bald eagles, this new edition of Great Lakes Nature---now lavishly illustrated in color---is a guide to nature's everyday but overlooked gems.

Coming upon a bird, tree, or natural phenomenon she doesn't recognize, the author takes us along on her process of learning.The result is a book that educates through the delight of serendipitous discovery as it transports the armchair explorer out of the living room and into the forests and wetlands of the Great Lakes region.Mary Blocksma is a freelance writer and artist. She has published more than twenty-one books, including Necessary Numbers, Great Lakes Solo, and Lake Lover's Year., Paperback, Ausgabe: Revised, Label: UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN REGIONAL, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN REGIONAL, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2004-03-25, Studio: UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN REGIONAL, Verkaufsrang: 4086458.
