AUTUMN ACROSS AMERICA

by Edwin Way Teale ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

Naturalist and photographer, Teale is a scientist on many places and all this is combined with a gift for seeing and sharing what he sees, so that his reader participates in his experiences and learns with eagerness and zest- This is the rare gift Teale affords. Those who cherish the memory of North With the Spring will rejoice over this second nature-travel book, capturing autumn in its every phase over the whole breadth of the continent, half the states of the union. From a far point on Cape Cod-in September, to a far point on the California coast- in December, the Teales cut across the season, experienced the thrill of the ornithologist in each of the four flyways of migration; saw mountain and desert, river valley and rain forest; met naturalists, conservationists, simple people who cared for the things, scientists who shared what they knew. History- biography- these play a part. And everywhere, Edwin Teale shares the beauty and sense of discovery, as well as the absorbing facts of natural history. I found it even more enthralling reading than Wild America (by Roger Peterson and James Fisher) and together they make this twelve month significant in their shared field.
