.Walden; Or, Life in the Woods (Dover Thrift Editions)
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: Henry David Thoreau

April 12, 1995
I've kept Thoreau at arm's length over the years. I sensed his brilliance yet secretly accused him of purposely unconnecting from the world. I was recently lead to him while looking for some essays on gardening. The first subject he covers in Walden is ecomomy. Economy rates low on my reading list. I was further warned by the difficulty of his text in general. Still, I was close to discovering his writings. In the beginning pages he takes me on a tour of opinions needing to be voiced in my life. My fear of crankiness is dispelled with freshness on every page.

.Tree Finder: A Manual for the Identification of Trees by Their Leaves (Nature Study Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: May T. Watts

1963-11
I have used this guide (and also the "Winter Tree Finder") for decades and find it accurate and easy to use for it's intended purpose: identifying what tree one is looking at. If you want to learn more ABOUT the tree, get an additional book like the Audubon Society publishes. But this is so convenient to carry and easy to use it's almost always with me when I'm out hiking.

Consider starting with "Insulate and Weatherize: Expert Advice from Start to Finish" by Bruce Harley instead which is a more practical "Go Do It" book with lots of photographs.

.The Night Sky 30°-40° (Large; North Latitude)
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: David S. Chandler

January 01, 1998
I recently took an astonomy class at my local college. This was a great tool for identifying/locating objects in the night sky.
Until you use one of these planispheres with a red lensed flashlight, you won't realize the advantage of a dark on light format.

Yup, this planisphere, a red lensed flashlight, and a lounge chair under the night sky....and being able to tell my wife I'm doing homework!

.Easy Green Living: The Ultimate Guide to Simple, Eco-Friendly Choices for You and Your Home
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: Renee Loux

April 01, 2008
I bought Easy Green Living for the recipes (like the air freshener containing vodka and essential oil - very nice) inside because I'd just read another book on being green, so I thought I had enough information. Then I started reading Loux's take on the environment, and I couldn't stop. She detailed reasons from personal health to protecting the earth's resources for becoming environmentally friendly. Loux writes well and breaks the topic down with ease without lecturing. She often injects personal stories as examples. And, she's budget conscious. She is quick to point out which options are budget friendly and which aren't necessarily. Easy Green Living is a valuable resource for anyone wishing to understand the current movement toward being environmentally ... Read More:
