4.0 out of 5 stars A New Way to Discover Attractions!, April 23, 1997

At last, a book that allows you to see what will be happening at a destination at the time of year you will will there. No more missed whale-watching opportunities (unless you are looking for gum), or wishing you had gone someplace LAST week instead. The monthly arrangement is very useful, and the index at the back is cross-referenced so you can look up places you are interested in by location as well as time of year. A welcome addition to my travel book shelf

5.0 out of 5 stars Do your homework and take it with you when you go!, April 19, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Seasonal Guide to the Natural Year--Southern California, Baja: A Month by Month Guide to Natural Events (Seasonal Guides) (Paperback)

This book is one of the strongest in the series. Travel books generally have no personal warmth - not so this one. Wade takes us to wonderful places, with feeling. Her appreciation of nature is unmistakable. The abundance of factual information contained in the book is delivered in pleasant, enjoyable to read narrative. I plan, as I urge others to do, to become thoroughly familiar with this book and then travel with it to So.Cal. and Baja. I certainly will visit Santa Catalina, which I am sure has been awaitin' for me since high school, and perhaps even do a little "grunion grabbing"

I bought this book- and what a waste. This is for people who have never taken a biology or geology or ecology course in their life and aren't particularly observant when they walk outside in the desert or forests in the first place. If I could return the book and get my money back - I would.
