The Naturalist's Year: 24 Outdoor Explorations

by Scott Camazine

Are all snowflakes really different? Why do sugar maple leaves turn brilliant red, not yellow? These and many other questions are answered by The Naturalists' Year, a guide for the naturally curious. Organized in 26 chapters corresponding to two-week intervals throughout the year, readers are given close-up investigations into nature, with in-depth discussions of biological, geological, botanical, and zoological phenomena that they can easily observe almost anywhere in the U.S. Beautifully illustrated with art and photos, and filled with interesting science projects and activities.
