Customer Reviews

Pretty good only if you have time

Well I read the book and in it there are a lot of interesting facts and different ways to identify animals and plants. But the only downside is that it is not good for quick identification because you need to first find the page for your specific animal group then find out exactly which species it is.

Good Book, but only good if you have a lot of time

This book is a very good book. However, the only drawback is that in the field when you go camping or whereever you are trying to identify something you need to thumb through pages until the pages match your observations of the specimen then identify by pictures. Now everything gets identified, but it just takes a little longer to do then other field guides.
