The Natural History of The Bahamas is a much needed and incredible resource for those visiting the archipelago. The guide is designed for the serious student of nature as well as the casual vacationer... The guide teaches the reader so much in such a short time. It's easy to use and any wildlife identification question can quickly be addressed with a short read of the species account. The guide is a must for any trip to The Bahamas. * Sonoran Herpetologist * In truth, only a tenth of this book is natural history, while the remaining 90 percent offers a listing of 549 species, with their 703 associated color photographs.Still, no book could be more colorful than this. -- G.C. Stevens, University of Mexico * CHOICEconnect * The Natural History of The Bahamas: A Field Guide provides a sorely needed resource covering the terrestrial and coastal flora and fauna of the Bahamas. [This book] should be in every classroom in the Bahamas. Most importantly, it is a tool needed by all Bahamians affiliated with conservation initiatives in the Bahamas. Likewise, the tourist who wants to skip the cruise and explore the real Bahamas can toss a copy of this guide in their backpack and venture out into the natural beauty of these extraordinary islands. * PLANT SCIENCE BULLETIN *
