Pocket Observology: A Field Guide

All about us is life from the tiniest forms. However in order to know about this, we have to look. That’s where Giselle Clarkson’s Pocket Observology: A Field Guide comes in. This book redirects us from the off, so the we know that we might identify by focusing on the ‘how’ rather than the what. Thereafter, how any specimen might move, and is shaped for starters. Then again, you’ve got to be really patient and careful, taking note of surroundings and any evidence you can find about you that offers some idea of what you’ve seen, and how it lives. We work through invertebrates, plants and fungi, birds and ‘how to’ go about being an observologist. This is a brilliantly organised and illustrated book, so carefully presented and so accessible. Bookwagon is so proud to recommend Pocket Observology: A Field Guide to all naturalists, and would be naturalists.
