The Nature of North America: A Handbook to the Continent Rocks, Plants, and Animals

Rating:
Summary: Notable reference guide
Review: - (From Planeta journal) While the publisher heralds this book as "the definitive resource to North American natural history," the book could use more references to Mexico. However, this is one of the few books that actually (and correctly) places Mexico in the correct continent. That said, this digest provides short lessons into North American geology, climate and biology. It's both a useful research tool and a very pleasant read. The compilation of so much useful information deserves special kudos.

Summary: Science writing of the first order
Review: This book is extremely well writtern and contains an astonishing amount of information. It is written at a level which is not boring to the non scientist. It would make an excellent text for an introductory course on earth science.
