Book Reviews of Winter World: The Ingenuity of Animal Survival
Book Review: Excellent for anyone interested in nature
Summary: 5 Stars
Bernd Heinrich owns a vast expanse of forest in Maine upon which he has built a humble cabin. Each winter he brings students from the biology department at the University of Vermont to stay at his cabin and conduct research in the forest. I bought this book because I was one of the students that he brought this season. Bernd is a very rare breed of naturalist and an excellent writer. His knowledge of the forest seems to be unending and I would highly recommend any of his books to readers interested in nature. The Winter World focuses on the physiological mechanisms by which organisms have adapted to winter survival; however, it is written in such a way as to be both valuable to the scientific community and an excellent read for a popular audience. The book is an excellent glimpse into the winter forest and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is fascinated by the natural world.
