Outdoors & Nature Reference

It is a very nice, interesting, and useful book. It is not, however, well organized, so that it is hard to find a bird. Also, for each bird the book only gives one phrase from its song.

This idea of a book was ruined by the fact that you have to know the bird call and the bird to hear it. OK for a kid to listen to,once, It has sat on the shelf for 6 months-unused

I really liked this book when I saw it at our local zoo in the Wetlands area. The pictures are great, sounds good.
However, it is not a very portable book. It is rather big and heavy. Also, there are so many birds in this book that if you...

I purchased this for a friend and they were delighted to receive it and as far as i know they are enjoying the book.

Though still an excellent field guide buyers should be aware that this book is merely a rejacketed version of the 1977 edition. It has not been updated and the recommended reading list in the back does not contain material published past 1976....

This is an awesome book, but there was obviously a printing error in the copy I bought. An entire chunk of pages has been repeated and a whole 'nother chunk is missing.

My only other complaint is that it'd be nice if these field...

CHUCK FULL OF GREAT PICTURES, RANGE MAPS, QUICK FIND INDEX, AND THUMBNAILS FOR EASY ACCESS. BEING THAT WE LIVE IN A FAIRLY LARGE WOODED PART OF THE OZARKS, WE GET TO SEE MANY SPECIES OF BIRDS RIGHT IN OUR OWN BACKYARD.

I wish this book had more detail in both drawnings and discreptions. As in more possable colorings from juvenile to adult and sex. Color of eggs, what kind of nest, habitat and sounds.

The Forager's Harvest is a beautiful book that delivers on the whole. While I would love to see a series of photos that illustrate the plant from sprout through death, that would be asking a lot, and I could not hope for anyone to provide that. As...

I was interested in finding out what kind of plants were edible native to the Pacific Northwest area, where I live. Unfortunately there were very few edibles covered that grow in this area, which has some of the most awesome natural habitats...

Great book. As an amateur rock hound, this book gives me lots of pretty pictures to look at. I have most of DK's books in every subject that interests me. They're all a home run in my book. I love this publisher.

A fascinating work, quite complete with excellent photographs, nature, morphology, and basic geology skills, that is totally despoiled by the fact that it presents no way to identify the samples. Unlike other works which feature hardness scales...

Great natural photos. My pre school daughter loved the ideas and created her own fairy house by gathering natural elements from the woods. She adds to it every weeek.

I found this book to be inspiring when it came to the beautiful fairy houses depicted, but I have to agree with another reviewer, in that the photo quality is quite poor. The photo quality really takes away from the book and the book design is...

This book is nice to look at and does give you some ideas about making your own fairy houses, but doesn't do anything in the way of "how to". In fact, there isn't much text at all. It would have been nice to know more about the project that...

I am thinking about buying this book, is it a good choice to buy it--or not?

I did not purchase this book because it was not in LARGE PRINT as advertised. Seller emailed me and advised me that the book was not large print. I cancelled the order.

I am a 14 year old, and had to read this book for Honor's English over the summer. I got to pick the book, and I made the wrong choice. It is long and boring, and there is no excitement to make you want to keep reading. The book consists of...

Very good intro book on the worming composting process. My worms are happy and doing well. Very informative. We use the square worm tower with the 5 levels. We are working on the first one right now. Very easy was to compost and there is no smell.

More and more people are developing an interest in non-toxic methods of horticulture and agriculture. Not only that, but the limitations of landfills, the expense of fossil fuels, and the growing body of evidence showing a relationship between...
