Product Description
At the age of eight, Tom Brown, Jr. began his naturalist's education under the tutelage of an Apache elder, Stalking Wolf. In his sixth handbook, Brown--director of the world-famous Tracking, Nature and Wilderness Survival School--shows readers how to open their eyes to the surprising abundance of natural beauty to be found in the urban and suburban landscapes of backyards, highway medians, and even windowsill flower boxes.

An eye opener. October 10, 2008
Along with the original Field Guide to Wilderness Survival, this is my favorite in the series. After reading about the ants I spent months trying to learn to track them. Finally, I achieved success after watching an ant walk across the top of a dusty outdoor water heater.
I still can't do it on concrete though.
It probably sounds stupid to some people, but it made me happy.

An excellent book for your children or grandchildren to learn that there is something more to life than computer games. It will show them that patience is a virtue. The author shows his enthusiasm and love for nature and the creatures God has created.
Great book for the urban naturalist. April 17, 1998

If you live in the city or suburbs and can't get away to explore nature, this is the book for you. It tells you where to look in your own backyard to find wild animals. There are good descriptions of the species that might be found in each particular environment. I found it useful in helping me identify the places in the city frequented by animals we wouldn't expect to find there. If you're an urban naturalist, I recommend this book.
