Book Review

Experiment is where you find it; a lab outdoors has to mean more than painstaking observation, some search for cause and closure, often intervention into the course or context of what you see. …The second book …keeps the young experimenter focused on one small square in the back yard--"your own or someone else's"--and shows how to uncover there clues to how all living things are connected. You need to dig, to collect and trap, to note down and draw, to try out foods, and you will learn how those animals and plants "make a living." … Even those who stay indoors just to read this inviting book on wintry evenings will surely gain.

~ Philip and Phylis Morrison, Scientific American excerpt

Excellent science based "text". Would be excellent for home schooling program or teaching youth. Might be excellent for retired "folk" who now have time to explore (preferably with a grandchild).
