The painted illustrations are both clear and beautiful, and I found it easy to identify everything I looked up. Including bear poop, helpfully illustrated with the type of food they eat this time of year. It is amazing how many bear droppings are out there. I would have liked more information about the species in the book, but that would have made it really cumbersome, which is no fun if you are hiking. ( ) The author-illustrator has over 2800 color illustrations including every entry. Easy to use. For example, there are color separations of what to look for to pick out which of the nine (!) chipmunks you are watching. Sky maps for different seasons, and one page on weather. Nothing on geology or geography, ecosystems. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
