Winter Studies Book List (in progress)

Posted in Great Books
  • Keeping a Nature Journal by Clare Walker Leslie & Charles Roth
  Again, this book just keeps me so encouraged.  Their winter Journal section is excellent! 
  • Handbook of Nature Study by Anna Botsford Comstock
 Climate and Weather, Plants , Mammals...  among others.

  • The Nature Notes of an Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden
Her winter journal pages are great examples of bird study and are just plain lovely to look at!

  • Exploring Nature in Winter by Alan Cvancara
"Guide to activities, adventures and projects for the Winter Naturalist."  I particularly enjoyed the part about learning to like winter!  If your library doesn't have this book, I am sure there are other similar titles under "winter nature study"available.  Leslie & Roth mention one in their book, Guide to Nature in Winter by Donal Stokes. 

  • The Bird Feeder Book by Donald and Lillian Stokes
There were many, many good bird feeding books at my library.  I just chose this one because I knew that Leslie & Roth liked another of the Stoke's books. 

  • The Urban Naturalist by Steven D. Garber
This book had some good descriptions of animals and how they adjust to urban settings.  I will use the section on squirrels.  Again, you could probably find others just as good if your library doesn't have this exact title. 

  • Smith & Hawkin's Forcing, etc, The indoor gardener's guide to bringing bulbs, branches & houseplants into bloom  By Katherine Whiteside
Since I am planning to learn how to force a bulb this winter, I decided to a book on the subject would be in order.  This book is filled with excellent photographs by Richard Felber.  I also plan to go back to the library and look for a book on "indoor gardens".  There were many available.  I just ran out of room in my arms!

That's a great list Jenn :) Thanks for sharing it with us. I've got the first couple of them but the rest are new ones! I'm going to be busy on the library online catalogue today *grin* I was trying to find the Donal Stokes one that Leslie & Roth recommend last night but so far I can't find it :( Maybe today I can locate it through the inter library loan stuff I can get.

Have you got any bulbs to force yet? My paper whites are hiding in a dark cupboard in the garage getting ready to be planted :) I had a peak at them and they are starting to sprout already! I can't wait :)

Have a great day!

No I don't have a book yet, but I have a little piece of paper somewhere around here that I got when I bought my paper whites on what to do with them *grin* I'm going to do some searching on the library catologue and see what I can come up with. Now I've got to hunt for that paper. I know it's around here somewhere! I think I need a secretary. LOL.

I have enjoyed your December posts here at happy camper. I love the new look here as well. I read most hsb blogs using the /friends option and rarely see backgrounds unless I leave comments, so it may not be that new. Anywho, thank you for taking the time to post here. I need as much encouragement as possible, school has very much been bare bones here this fall. Time to tighten the boot straps and get to work next week.

About Me

Welcome to my happy little place to learn about the study of nature and all things beautiful. This is my personal nature journal, where I hope to record my fledgling journey as a naturalist and my appreciation for the Master Gardener's creation. I will also display some of my favorite paintings and list some of my favorite living books and quotes. I hope you will enjoy your visit.
