About this title

Synopsis

Ted Levin "traces his own development as a naturalist from his boyhood roots on suburban Long Island to his present life in northern New England. Along the way he introduces us to all sorts of wild creatures from red-backed salamanders, cicadas, and rattlesnakes to manatees, coyotes, and bald eagles."

Reviews

A collection of 16 short essays about wildlife encounters during naturalist Levin's career. Primarily about the Northeast, it includes pieces on amphibian life cycles, snakes, cicadas, predatory birds, coyotes, a captured weasel, and a vacation in the Florida Everglades. Intertwining biological facts, historical data, regional information, personal experience, and a dash of humor, the author presents a strong conservation message. An excellent addition to such high caliber nature writings as Roger Swain's Earthly Pleasures and Field Days: journal of an itinerant biologist. Strongly recommended for collections serving general readers and YAs. Frank Reiser, Biology Dept., Nassau Community Coll., Garden City, N.Y.
