| Keeping a Nature Journal: Discover a Whole New Way of Seeing the World Around You by Storey Publishing, LLC Great examples, great way to start |
| I bought this book along with Handbook of Nature Study to help me start guiding nature studies with my son. I was not disappointed with either book, but I am especially happy with this one. It goes over all the basics of keeping a nature journal clearly and distinctly. There are a lot of examples of the author's own journal pages to help you get an idea of what is possible. There are sections for nature journaling in each season, as well as a chapter dedicated to drawing tips. This section is in addition to all of the drawing examples throughout the book. The section on teaching others about nature study could be a bit thicker, but it does give you the basic theories and suggestions you need to start. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to start nature journaling, it has certainly gotten me to start. |
| Keeping a Nature Journal: Discover a Whole New Way of Seeing the World Around You by Storey Publishing, LLC Book Review |
| I had to buy this book, Keeping a Nature Journal, for an Ornithology course. Clare Leslie does an amazing job of sketching and just the book is awesome! She writes clearly and concisely and it is sooo easy to understand. It also is written so just your average Joe can feel like he can sketch beautiful pictures and such. Well, when I'm reading and skimming the pictures, I feel like I can be an artist too. Wonderful book. |
| Keeping a Nature Journal: Discover a Whole New Way of Seeing the World Around You by Storey Publishing, LLC Should have ordered sooner |
| I should have ordered this book sooner. It gives great ideas on how to keep a nature journal with scetches and notes. I have been keeping a journal for years and this book sent me in a different direction that I am really enjoying. |
| Keeping a Nature Journal: Discover a Whole New Way of Seeing the World Around You by Storey Publishing, LLC Very helpful. |
| This book has been very helpful in teaching me how to journal. My preconceived notions on journaling have been changed. The tips and techiniques given in this book have improved my journaling and helped me to teach my children that is is not an art project, but an activity to record what you have seen, heard and experienced. Not written from a Christian world view. |
| Keeping a Nature Journal: Discover a Whole New Way of Seeing the World Around You by Storey Publishing, LLC Not what I thought it was |
| This book is so not what I thought it was going to be. I thought it was a journal to write in with some tips and things to get you started. But it is an entire, huge book telling you how to keep a scientific nature journal. I'd send it back except I don't want to have to pay shipping costs. HOWEVER, if you are looking for a very detailed book on how to keep a scientific nature journal, then this would be great for you. It is a lovely book to look at, and I might find some nice suggestions, but it wasn't at all what I had in mind. |
| Keeping a Nature Journal: Discover a Whole New Way of Seeing the World Around You by Storey Publishing, LLC Product Description |
| From the day it was released in 2000, Keeping a Nature Journal has struck a profound chord among professional, casual, and occasional naturalists of all ages. In response to this groundswell of enthusiasm, we have revised KEEPING A NATURE JOURNAL, updated the interior design, and created a new cover. Undoubtedly the most exciting new element in this second edition is a portfolio of 32 illustrated pages from Clare Walker Leslie's most recent journals, reproduced in full color. What makes KEEPING A NATURE JOURNAL so popular? It is inspiring and easy to use. Clare and co-author Charles Chuck E. Roth offer simple techniques to give first-time journal-keepers the confidence to go outside, observe the natural world, and sketch and write about what they see. At the same time, they motivate long-time journal-keepers to hone their powers of observation as they immerse themselves in the mysteries of the natural world. Clare and Chuck stress that the journal is a personal record of daily experience and the world around us. Nature's beauty can be observed everywhere, whether in the city, suburbs, or country. |
