This review is from: Eastern Forests (Audubon Society Nature Guides) (Paperback)
Definitely not a waste of paper! This guide does many things very well indeed. The first part--brief but amazingly informative--gives the big picture about how forests work. It takes a quick and penetrating glance at each of the various forest communties found in Eastern North America, from the boreal forests of the north and the oak-and-hickory forests of the Ozarks to the mixed deciduous forests of the states south of the Great Lakes to the complex and ancient forests of the southern Appalachians. The second part gives the little pictures--hundreds of small but clear photographs of trees, shrubs, flowers, birds and animals. These photos are great for identifying common species quickly (bring the book with you when you walk) and include page-number references to the many informative mini-essays about each species which make up the third portion of the book. The book also contains a helpful glossary and an index. The Audubon "Western Forests" is equally good.

In doing research for a novel set in Central Kentucky, I find "The Audubon Society Nature Guides: Eastern Forests" to be the perfect resource. The guide covers the Eastern half of North America and will be enjoyed at home or in the field. The comprehensive details of trees, shrubs, wildflowers, mushrooms, birds, butterflies, insects, and reptiles are depicted in gorgeous color plates, and the text is full of lively description that reads almost like poetry. Studying natural history, forest ecology, zoology, botany and forest fauna has never been so much fun! Mary Popham, Louisville, Kentucky

Eastern Forests ( Audubon Society Nature Guides),

This review is from: Eastern Forests (Audubon Society Nature Guides) (Paperback)
Eastern Forests: The Audubon Society Nature Guides by Ann Sutton is a comprehensive field guide which is fully illustrated with color photographs. Trees, wildflowers, birds, mammals, insects, reptiles, and mushrooms are found within the pages of this field guide.This comprehensive field guide comprises the Eastern Forests of North America from Hudson Bay to Florida. Here you'll find the majority of what is found in these forests and woodlands. I found it quite useful while hiking in this area of North America. There is a glossary of terms used in the book that is very helpful and the habitat of the animals is found by each picture. I'm sure that this book will be used if you do much hiking in this area, as I have used it to identify many flora and fauna.
