![]() A visual treat, whether you live near a temperate forest or are an armchair investigator. The author concludes with information on how the large photographs were created. Each creature appears in a photo index, so the interested viewer can go from the collage to the index and read related text. He encourages the user to become a forest explorer, observing animals and keeping a forest journal to record discoveries. Collages show the forest habitat in each season and then follow up with field notes providing more detail about the animals. Bishop takes life-sized photographs of 130 different animals (116 of them insects) and then uses computer technology to cut and paste together 60 different photographs for each nature collage. ![]() ![]() Awesome double-paged photographs of temperate forest creatures and detailed observations by an experienced naturalist will make this title a hit with nature lovers and a worthy companion to the author’s Backyard Detective: Critters Up Close (2002). ![]()
