Amateur Naturalist: A Practical Guide to the Natural World

Everybody wants to do their bit to help the environment in the 1990s and this practical book should be of interest to anyone concerned about the natural world and how they can play a part - however small - in conserving nature. It includes information on identifying tracks, preserving a wildlife area, collecting shells, taking lichen scratchings, making a cast of a footprint and caring for wounded birds.
