Synopsis
This revised and expanded version of the Rileys' acclaimed 1979 guide reflects the many changes in the refuge system, with over 100 new refuges opened, others closed, and the land and wildlife composition of most dramatically evolved. With details of the flora and fauna of each refuge and helpful tips on trip planning and preparation, this comprehensive source describes refuges for travelers and naturalists alike.

Review
For travelers interested in seeking out wild animals without having to enter the deep wilderness, there is no better resource than this. It will guide you to some 225 federal preserves across the United States, from Rhode Island's postage-stamp-sized Ninigret to Alaska's 19.5 million-acre Arctic reserves, both homes to a wide range of wildlife. Laura and William Riley, who helped found the Raptor Trust in the 1970s, have an easygoing style that balances their sometimes overwhelmingly exhaustive cataloging of the nation's wild creatures. Their useful book ought to make a lot of readers head for the nearest wildlife refuge--every state has at least one--and take a look for themselves.
