For the Naturalist

This is a delightful and sometimes very funny collection of essays by wildlife biologist Frances Hamerstom. She was doing a tough naturalist's job by any standards, in a role dominated by men. But this is also a testimony to her amazing relationship with her biologist husband. The pair, students of Aldo Leopold, chose to brave very difficult conditions for the love of studying the vanishing Prairie Chicken. I recommend this book to all naturalists, and especially to anyone involve in prairie restoration.
