Here’s a list of some good nature books to read:
Deep Blue Home: An Intimate Ecology of Our Wild Ocean – Julia Whitty (One of the best books I’ve ever read for its density of scientific material but complete readability.)
Never Cry Wolf – Farley Mowat (This book is credited with altering the traditional stigma of wolves.)
Shipwrecks in the Americas – Robert F. Marx (For if you ever want to be humbled by Mother Nature’s awesome power!)
