5.0 out of 5 stars Heinrich turns nature's complexities into exciting reading, August 30, 2000
This review is from: In a Patch of Fireweed: A Biologist's Life in the Field (Paperback)
I was required to read excerpts from this book for a course I was taking, but found myself reading (even re-reading) the text for pleasure. Though the material may be, at times, a little too technical for the average reader, Heinrich, nonetheless brings the complexities of the natural realm to his readers in such a manner that draws the reader into the excitement of his own research and discoveries. The text is scientific, yet humorous whenever possible, and always insightful. Heinrich is a brilliant biologist with no less skill as a writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read, January 18, 2009

This review is from: In a Patch of Fireweed: A Biologist's Life in the Field (Paperback)
As with all Bernd Heinrich's books it was a pleasure to read. Any one interested in nature observation should read this. It is not written on a "biology major" level and that is what is great about it. It will help you to look at nature a little different to see why some things are the way they are.
