Review:
A classic in landscape interpretation, remarkably timely. Unexcelled in the blending of landscape ecology and lived experience on landscapes. -- Int'l Society for Environmental Ethics Newsletter, Summer 1999

A fantastic book. Great for understanding the Indiana Dunes and the north woods of Wisconsin, for example. -- Weedpatch Gazette, Spring 1999

May Theilgaard Watts' classic, work, Reading the Landscape of America, is an excellent landscape guidebook with a near perfect blend of natural and cultural history. -- Arnold Berleant, A. Carlson, The Aesthetics of Human Environments, May 2007

No single essay I have read so well lays out our landscaping follies [as the last chapter of Watts' book]. -- Wild Ones Natural Landscapers Journal, October 2001

Stargazer, artist, poet and naturalist, Watts' interests were many. It shows in Reading the Landscape, a beautifully written book used for decades by educators. -- Chicago Wilderness Magazine, Winter 1999

The interpretive prototype of all landscape-level natural histories. It opened my eyes to a whole new way of seeing. -- Tom Wessels, ecologist, in Stonecrop, Winter 1997

Watts' chapter on the Prairie Plowing Match is a classic work of landscape study. -- Sonia Simone, Whole Earth Review

Watts' essays constitute the near perfect guidebook for the appreciation of the rural landscape. -- Allen Carlson, Aesthetics and the Environment, 2000

This is a classic of the quality and genre to rank with Aldo Leopold's Sand County Almanac. . . Watts brings to the task (of ecology) an artist's eye and a story teller's way with words, to help the non-biologist better understand the world about him. --Philip B. Whitford, Ecology, Autumn 1976
