Tracking and the Art of Seeing: How to Read Animal Tracks and Sign

"If Thoreau's Concord neighbors led lives of quiet desperation, many people today rush through lives of frantic, noisy alienation. Paul Rezendes's book is about tracking, but also much more; it shows how to find your way home to the great web of life. For the woods walker, this book offers the key to a new kingdom." — The Boston Globe

In this newly revised and updated edition of his highly acclaimed field guide, renowned nature photographer and tracking expert Paul Rezendes brings the fields and forests to life with his unique observations on North American wildlife and their tracks and sign. Illustrated with hundreds of his original photographs, Tracking & the Art of Seeing provides complete information on the behavior and habitat of over 50 animal species and shows you how to identify animals by their tracks, tail patterns, droppings, dens, scratches and other signs.

Paul Rezendes is an internationally recognized photographer, tracked, and wildlife consultant whose work has appeared in numerous books and magazines, including his photography book Wetlands: The Web of Life. The author of The Wild Within, he lives in Athol, Massachusetts.
