Nature Is Full Of Fascinating Stories, Stories That Attract Our Attention At A Young Age And Keep Us Amazed Throughout Our Entire Lives. The Need To Understand Nature Draws Us Back To Its Simple Beauty Again And Again, Yet Underneath This Simplicity Lies A Complex Web Of Associations And Patterns.

Naturalists Who Are Already Well Versed In One Group Of Organismsbirders, For Examplewill Find New Explanations And Patterns For Their Favorite Group, As Well As New Patterns All Around Them That They Had Previously Overlooked. Observations In The Handbook Are Arranged In The Three Main Sections Of Plants, Animals, And Habitats. These Sections Are Then Connected Through Discussions Of The Relationship Of Size And Shape, Adaptations, Distribution Patterns, Behavior, And Diversity Of Life. Since The Emphasis Is On Patterns Rather Than Individual Species, Each Chapter Has Crossreferences To Related Topics. For Example, Treerelated Topics Such As Leaf Shape, Treelines, And Fall Colors, Are All Discussed In Different Chapters Even Though They Are Related. Leaf Shape Is Associated With Trees As Organisms, And Therefore Is In Chapter 2: Trees; Treelines Are Most Associated With Mountains, So Their Description Is In Chapter 8: Mountains; Fall Colors Apply More Broadly To Forests Than To Individual Trees, And They Are Discussed In Chapter 9,Forests.Approximately 500 Color Photographs Help Make The More Than 200 Patterns Apparent And Recognizable For Readers, And Each Pattern Is Accompanied By A Detailed Description And A Brief List Of Sources. The Book Is Designed To Invite Browsing, And Readers Will Gain A Rich Ecological Perspective And Insight. Curiosity About The World Around Us Is A Basis For Human Learning; The Nature Handbook Serves To Aid All Nature Lovers In Their Quest For Understanding The Many Stories That Our Living World Provides.
