Every so often I pick up A Practical Guide for the Amateur Naturalist by Gerald Durrell with Lee Durrell and flip through it reading a bit about mammals of the boreal forest, swamp life, or creating a wild garden. The beautifully illustrated book features fun and practical tips including a look into the naturalist’s daypack, body language of wolves, photographing and watching wild animals, and setting up a naturalist’s workroom. Take it with you into the backyard or on an overnight camping trip. Definitely pack it if heading to the desert or mountains!

The book is out of print, but you can find copies on Amazon.
