From the Inside Flap
Here is a book to enhance our appreciation of the small citizens of the world and to introduce us to the neighbors we never knew we had-from spotted salamanders to meadow voles, from snowy tree crickets to ambrosia beetles. The author blends his wisdom about the natural; world with gentle humor and instructive advice as he describes the songs of sparrows and the habits of skunks, tells how to pick morel mushrooms and how to avoid poison ivy, and considers the traditional uses of pokeweed and the origin of purslane.
Mitchell's vivid nature journal follows the seasons and observes the subtle changes throughout the year. Detailed illustrations by Laurel Molk help you identify the denizens of your local habitat. A field guide to the familiar yet often overlooked, this book reacquaints us with the rewards and the resilience of the natural world wherever it is found.
