Pond Life: Revised and Updated (Golden Guide) by George K. Reid (Author), Sally D. Kaicher (Illustrator), Tom Dolan (Illustrator). This guide describes and illustrates, in full colour, the plants and animals that reside in or close to ponds, lakes, streams, and wetlands. It consists of surface-dwelling creatures in addition to these of open water, the bottom, and the shore and tells how various animals and vegetation dwell collectively in a community. Plus suggestions for:

-Where and when to look

-Observing and accumulating specimens

-Making exciting discoveries

This little e-book is a bargain if you want to determine aquatic plants, animals, etc. generally present in US lakes & ponds. All coloration plates and properly put together.

This is among the most helpful books you will find for figuring out creatures and vegetation in streams and ponds. Not all species are right here, but all families are represented, and you’ll go from there. The Golden Guides are invaluable for kids especially, and as the native “nature man” that everybody in town involves in identifying vegetation and animals, this guide has been a valuable resource. Each household should personal books like this if they’re residents of our planet. I am just glad that it’s nonetheless in print.

This is possible the most effective e-book to start learning about wetlands, especially if you wish to turn your neighborhood retention pond right into a “dwelling” wetland. I’m a school pupil and have studied environmental science and biology, but this guide breaks it all down, and may be very simple to understand. I learn it cowl to cowl before I went into the sector and it was extraordinarily helpful. It is not an intensive field guide, however it teaches you methods to determine a sedge from a grass, for example. Figuring out all of this info makes it much easier to go through an area field information to establish the grass or sedge your trying on. It covers all aspects of wetland life from alga to mammals. It’s not to be-all-that-ends-all in wetland identification, however it makes all other field guides much less overwhelming. I highly recommend this book for anybody involved in wetlands.
