NATURE
To learn more about nature it is often a good idea to look through some good books
about the different plants and animals one might encounter on nature walks in their
area. Most of the time one sees something they can’t identify and they don’t have
any kind of reference to help them.
If you are a person who likes to hold a hard copy book in your hands and peruse and
study its pages, here is a list of nature reference books I recommend.
