Good guide for the vacationing naturalist. I borrowed this book from my sister the last time we went to the southwest on vacation, and it’s a nice, compact field guide to the plants and animals of the southwest deserts. So I bought one to toss into my backpack, since I wander around being a biology nerd on vacations, and we are going again this fall.Great little book to have in hand if you just have to know what lizard that was sleeping in your boot, or what cactus you just sat on.Answered all my wife's questions! We just moved to Colorado from the east coast. My wife is a plant and wildlife aficionado and was frustrated that she was seeing things out here that we never saw on the east coast - and couldn't identify them. (Great move, BTW, will never go back east!) I bought her this book so she could quit asking me what the heck this or that was. ;-) Worth every penny. Besides that, it's well constructed and durable. Bright, clear photos.Birds and more.... Spending the winter months in AZ and wanted a bird book to help identify some of the many species down here. This book is more than just a 'bird' book - I also found a great preserve in Nevada, has help with tracking common animals in the SW, has pictures & descriptions of many cactus and other flora & fauna. Well worth the price - lots of information.
