Field Guide to Finding Mammals, Peterson's

Field Guide to Finding Mammals, Peterson's

Peterson
The best-selling field guides of all time


To see a fog shrew, should you go to Muir Woods National Monument? If you're planning to visit Yellowstone National Park, what animals can you expect to see? When should a photographer visit to get a shot of a gray fox?
A mammal finder's guide (rather than an identification guide), this book tells you how to look, where to go, and what you are likely to find there. Two main sections provide a choice of looking up information by place or by species: The first includes regions of North America, highlighting the best places to look for mammals. The species-finding guide has accounts of more than four hundred species of mammals, including detailed directions to specific parks, refuges, and other locations; the best times of day (or night) to look; and much more information specific to each mammal.

More Info

This book was conceived as a means of documenting some of my life experiences to be read by my children and grandchildren, but it gradually morphed into much more. It is, in fact, primarily about my lifelong love affair with farming.

I have a spiritual affinity with nature, sunrises, the earth, and dirt. Most mornings my wife encourages me to "go outside and play," as she knows that growing and tending plants and trees charges my batteries and keeps my juices flowing. Farming is in my soul and in my veins. Blues singer John Lee Hooker captured it best when he sang, "It's in him, and it got to come out."

Fifty independent, natural essays cover a range of topics, among them how not to trap a rabbit, the exhilaration of a thirteen-year-old racing his first car through a corn field, and how the strong work ethic of a Dutch national immigrant had an immense influence on me. I describe the excitement of anticipating the summer's first garden-ripened tomato, get you to see how old stone walls can be appreciated and viewed in a different light, and try to convince you that gravity is your friend. I share with you the love of having a farm dog, the childish giddiness of a seventy-year-old torquing the throttle of a bulldozer, the frustrations of having Mother Nature be your boss, and the many frequent and often simple successes enjoyed by farmers.

It is my hope that you will be entertained, uplifted, and educated by reading about my seventy-year agricultural journey. I hope to convince you that farm life is stimulating, that it teaches us many new skills, and that its rewards are accessible - at some level - to everyone. I will be rewarded if, when you finish reading, you want to get into your car, find the nearest farm store and stock up on veggie seeds for next spring's garden.

Gardeners, farmers, and people who love nature, farm markets, science, and tractors will enjoy reading this book.
