Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 4-7-A unique combination of biography and natural history. At a time when there were few women role models, Ann Haven Morgan (1882-1966) followed her childhood interest in the natural world and became a respected professor and author. Her first book, Field Book of Ponds and Streams, was published in 1930. Her education and life's work are presented chronologically and accompanied by a few archival photographs. The book also serves as a field guide, with text boxes on almost every page introducing aspects of pond ecology. Various examples of pond dwellers, such as dragonflies and mayflies, which Morgan spent years studying, are briefly described and depicted. The photographs and full-color illustrations amplify the text.-Frances E. Millhouser, Chantilly Regional Library, VA
