Glad for the affirmations on old vs new ways of interpretation. I like facts and simplicity. I'm not into worshipping anyone or hiding anyone- past, present, or future. We should always be open to new discoveries and ideas.

[Lawson Cope]

A really thorough and nice extension and modernization of Tilden Freeman's famous interpretive framework.

Do you like nature? Are you part of a nature group? If you answered yes to these two questions, then you need this book and you will not go wrong in inviting Dr. Ted Cable to visit your group.

I had to read this for work. It was informative, but a little repetitive and I stopped taking notes by the end since it felt like the latter chapters were just rehashing old information. Still, I learned a lot and am glad I read it!

Excellent guide and coaching tool for writing about nature. Also helping interpret nature photography for books. All round a great guide to nature's classroom.
