Nature Photography Hotspots: Where to Find Them, When They're at Their Best, How to Approach Them

Rating:
Summary: Adequate, not exceptional
Review: The book includes brief reviews of a variety of photography destinations in North America and Africa. There are a variety of different types of destinations covered (marine, large mammal, bird, wildflower). The depth of coverage of most sites will be adequate for most people, and the book includes some sites that were new to me.It also has some nice photographs!
I see no need to include the African sites in a book of this type. I doubt the author intends us to use this book as our sole guide on an African Safari, and any specialized guide we did buy for such a trip would provide far more information than this one. On the other hand, I'm sure there are some good nature spots in Europe, and I can easily see a North American adding one nature stop to a conventional European vacation based on the type of information in this book. If the author had included some European destinations, it would have been more helpful than the African material.
Despite my griping, a decent book. But the National Geographic Guide to wildlife watching is better.
