Zoologist Jim Kavanagh has made a career out of introducing novices to plants, animals, the sciences and world cultures. In addition to creating over 500 simplified nature guides, he has also authored guides to languages, cities and outdoor skills. An avid traveler and backpacker, Kavanagh's path has taken him around the world to many remote destinations including the upper Amazon, Africa, Australia, and the Arctic Circle (and this is just the As). He is also the author of a series of state-specific guides to common species and natural attractions and a children's book on evolution. www.waterfordpress.com
"You can take your Peterson, Sibley and Kaufman. Keep Dunne on the shelf. National Geographic, too. If the book weighs more than the binocular, beginners just won't bite. So for our friends just starting to bird - and we mean those birding within 50 feet of their back window - we're giving them a started guide they can handle. We love the "don't overwhelm me" feel of these new pocket books from Waterford Press. These folding guides provide folds of laminated full-color."-- "Birding Business Magazine"
