Backtracking : the way of a naturalist
(Book)

“When I come upon an animal’s tracks in the woods, I find myself moving back against the animal’s direction to trace where it started from,” Ted Levin writes in Backtracking: The Way of a Naturalist. He also traces his own development as a naturalist from his boyhood roots on suburban Long Island to his present life in northern New England. Along the way he introduces us to all sorts of wild creatures—from red-backed salamanders, cicadas, and rattlesnakes to manatees, coyotes, and bald eagles...He shows us how accessible the natural world is, that we need look no further than our own backyards to find it" -- Amazon.
