One common question I get - "So why didn't they print any more N modules after N1? That adventure was amazing!" Well, they did, and they're all as good as N1, but the print runs were so shamefully small that N2 through N5 are some of the most difficult-to-collect introductory adventures in existence. In the idyllic meadows of the Downs, the Druids of old have faded into legend - some say they still protect the farmers from the deepmost woods, but others believe them to be legends. But now, a horrible blight has rotted the land, and an ancient man says that he remembers them - and someone must journey through the perilous wilds and find them. A great, challenging adventure for levels 2-4.

This is an excellent collection of distinct approaches to the forest fragmentation process in tropical landscapes. These approaches include social economical and environmental aspects well based on case studies and scientific data. With one publication it's possible to analyze several points of view and draw an image of the tropical forest's situation.

I used this plant guide in Killarney Provincial Park (Ontario) and found it useful for identifying major plant species of the area. This guide is interesting because it includes both a photograph and a line drawing of each plant featured in the guide. Plants are divided into lifeforms (e.g., shrub) and descriptions of each plant within a lifeform are contained in a separate section of the guide. The keys for plant identification are not detailed, but the objective of this book is to provide a simple, non-technical guide for plant identification. The authors meet this objective. For more detailed plant identification, a technical botanical guide (Michigan Flora by Ed Voss) probably should be used instead of Forest Plants of Central Ontario. I recommend Forest Plants of Central Ontario as an interesting, non-technical guide for identifying major plant species of the region. It is appropriate for more advanced botanists as a handy field guide and is also appropriate for investigators who have no formal botanical training but who want to quickly learn to identify plants.

This is a good book for forest studies. They reviewed so many papers (more than 2000 papers) in forest dynamics. It's a good tool if you want to find out more references quickly and easily for your researches.

Interesting case studies in developing countries and established areas of infrastructure. Offers information, statistics, and conclusions drawn in each area. I focused mainly on the case study of Nepal which offered strong counter arguements to the commonly accepted views of conservation and tourism interaction. The authors seem quite well informed and interested in the topic.

Champagne Safari
By Otto Lowy
A bizarre mountain climbing expedition that set out from cold Edmonton in 1934. Some who remember say it was the folly of a millionaire French Count. Others say there was more to it than that....something strange, even sinister.

I love travel stories and this is one of the best. I love magic and it pervades the very fabric of this world. I love a fierce young hero, and here is one who will never take the easy way out. I love trees, and here is a continent full of them. I love an unexpected twist in a story, and here are some mighty hairpin bends. I love woodwork, and here is a whole enchanted palace built of wood. I love a girl who holds her own and here is Ils, who needs no kind of prettiness to have her place in the voyage. I love a god who misbehaves like one, and here is Raven... I love this book.

This is the guide I take with me on walks in the winter, when all the leaves are off the oak forest here in southeast Massachusetts. To be honest, I haven't had an opportunity to use the fruit key yet. Remember that this book is ONLY a key, so you'll need other references to learn. I've found the key to be technical and a bit unwieldy on occasion, but by the same token, it's opened a new level of detail to my observation: an eye loupe comes along for those walks...

This little book contains six sturdy stencils of rain forest animals. The designs are beautifully drawn and display the creatures boldly without too many small parts. The stencils are pre-cut on easily detachable cardstock pages. I used this set to cut out parts of the animals from various colors of foam craft sheets which I made into puzzles for my younger friends. You'll have fun coming up with other ways to use them. The animals depicted are a toucan, a howler monkey, an armadillo, a gorilla, a caiman, and a tree frog.
