Dr. Avery took a bit of a well deserved break over the holiday season, but now with turn of the year having passed, he’s back at his books and has brought us his thoughts about a book that I was not previously aware: Susanne Masters‘ Wild Waters; A Wildlife and Water Lover’s Companion to the Aquatic World.
Taking both those who enjoy reading about aquatic life whilst remaining comfortably dry ashore as well as those who take the plunge in order to experience the realms of water for themselves, Mark describes Wild Waters as not an ordered guidebook for the naturalist but rather “a gentle, coaxing and accessible introduction” for those who wish to learn a bit more about what lives beneath the surface of both fresh and salt water bodies.
Please visit his blog to read Mark’s complete review of Wild Waters for yourself.
Links to Dr. Mark Avery’s Sunday book reviews appear in The Well-read Naturalist by special arrangement. You can find all of Mark’s past reviews as well as a wide-ranging collection of his other writings on his Standing Up for Nature website. Mark’s opinions regarding the books he reviews are entirely his own.
