Field Days : Journal of an Itinerant Biologist

Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Join Roger B. Swain in this fantastic discovery of the familiar - or, as one soon realizes, the not-so-familiar. Explore everything from cutting firewood to solving the global wood shortage; from lying in bed and watching the sunrise to predicting the seasons by observing the sun's movement along the horizon; from listening to someone complain about swollen "bee bites" to understanding the exact mechanism of a honeybee's sting. At once entertaining and informative, Field Days is sure to be a "field day" for even the most casual naturalist - and all lovers of a great writing about the natural world. (5 1/2 X 8 1/4, 224 pages)
