Field Guide to the Natural World of Washington, D.C. Paperback - 2014
by Howard Youth; Mark A. Klingler (Illustrator); Robert E. Mumford (Photographer)
From the rear cover
Within weeks of arriving in Washington, I heard from my friend Mark Klingler, who was just completing the illustrations for a book about the natural history of my new home. Mark had teamed with author Howard Youth and photographer Robert Mumford, Jr., to create a neat and portable volume about the nature that exists in my new city. Using a combination of paintings, photographs, and prose, they tell tales of the city's parks and paths and do a great job of exploring and exposing the biodiversity that permeates the city.
Located at the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers at the head of Chesapeake Bay and just downstream from the Fall Line that marks the edge of the Appalachian Piedmont, Washington is a natural crossroads for migratory birds and a great place to experience the forests of the East Coast. The book describes the best locales to escape from sometimes frantic city life, places that provide opportunities for close encounters with nature.--From the Foreword by Kirk Johnson, Sant Director, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History
