Amazon.com Review

For travelers interested in seeking out wild animals without having to enter the deep wilderness, there is no better resource than this. It will guide you to some 225 federal preserves across the United States, from Rhode Island's postage-stamp-sized Ninigret to Alaska's 19.5 million-acre Arctic reserves, both homes to a wide range of wildlife. Laura and William Riley, who helped found the Raptor Trust in the 1970s, have an easygoing style that balances their sometimes overwhelmingly exhaustive cataloging of the nation's wild creatures. Their useful book ought to make a lot of readers head for the nearest wildlife refuge--every state has at least one--and take a look for themselves.
