Review
Ron Rood's Vermont is the best nature guide written to date on Vermont. Rood's guided nature walks compiled into one book are extraordinarily informative as he points out things never noticed by the inexperienced city dweller. Used either as a field guide or as a general introduction to the natural world, Ron Rood's Vermont is the next best thing to a personally escorted trip as Rood describes the flora and fauna of each of the different habitats found in Vermont, including mountains, woods, lakes, open fields, and brushland. Wonderfully illustrated by Reed Prescott, Ron Rood's Vermont escorts the reader on a dozen nature trips covering all corners of the state. There is a route map for each trip. Ron Rood's Vermont is perfect for backpacking, canoeing, hiking, or just going on a walk, alone or with friends and family. -- Midwest Book Review
