More than a singularly effective guide, the book as a whole presents
a profound case for the preservation of the natural island—for our
sake, as well as that of our cohabitants. Inspired concept. Highly
recommended! |
John Turner makes you an expert on Long Island’s natural treasures
by supplying the what, where, and when needed for personal appreciation
of the island’s greatest gifts. |
I’ve long considered John Turner the expert of experts, the all-around
most experienced, most knowledgeable, and most devoted person I know
with regard to scientifically appreciating, lucidly explaining, and
effectively helping protect this fish-shaped island.… There is no
more companionable guide, no more insightful teacher.… And because
many of the species he describes live elsewhere too, this book is
useful over a wide swath of the coastal northeast. |
Hikers, birders, paddlers, naturalists - anyone who enjoys Long
Island's natural places - will find John Turner is an invaluable
guide. It's great to see this classic back in print.! |
