Reviews

GrrlScientist presents Peterson Field Guide to the Birds of North America posted at Living the Scientific Life, saying, “No one has done more to advance and popularize birdwatching than artist and naturalist, Roger Tory Peterson (RTP), who published his first field guide to the birds in 1934 at the ripe old age of 26. No doubt, many of you probably grew up using RTP’s seminal field guides to identify wild birds, but did you know that the Peterson Field Guide to Western Birds and the Peterson Field Guide to Eastern Birds were combined into one large Sibley-esque type volume for the first time? This new book, the Peterson Field Guide to Birds of North America, was published by Houghton Mifflin at the end of August 2008, on the centennial of RTP’s birth. [book review]”
