This is the best field i.d. book i have seen. It has many different views for each species of bird and all the info needed about each. Couldn't ask for a better field guide.

4.A Field Guide to Medicinal Plants and Herbs: Of Eastern and Central North America (Peterson Field Guides (R)) by: James A. Duke, Steven Foster December 28, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $12.92 You Save: $6.08 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $9.48
Inorder to relieve stress I like to wildcraft (find and collect my own herbs in the wild) this book has quickly become one of my favorites, its easy to use, and for some odd reason it has identified more herbs in the area that I live than any two of my other guides. I attribute this to Steven Foster, as I own numerous of his books, a great herbalist and author.

5.A Field Guide to Eastern Trees (Peterson Field Guides) by: George A. Petrides July 15, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $20.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.60 You Save: $6.40 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.63
This is a pretty good field guide even though I have to skip around through the pages to find things. (The color plates are not with the descriptions, which is like other Peterson guides) It has some photos with the descriptions, which is nice, and there are range maps.

6.Birding by Ear: Eastern and Central North America (Peterson Field Guides(R)) by: Richard K. Walton, Robert W. Lawson April 04, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $30.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $19.80 You Save: $10.20 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $15.86
Birding by Ear is an excellent way to learn to identify birds. It is just going to take me some time to get through all the calls and get them in my poor brain. Not the fault of the cd's - just the fault of my overworked brain.

7.Peterson First Guide to Rocks and Minerals by: Frederick H. Pough August 15, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $5.95 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.01
This particular "rock identificatin book" is pretty good. The photos of samples are good and in color. However, it is not a comprehensive as our earth science instructor had hoped. On the whole, it is a good text for beginners.

8.A Field Guide to Stars and Planets (Peterson Field Guides (R)) by: Jay M. Pasachoff November 23, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $12.92 You Save: $6.08 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.99
I had planned to list this book (1964 HB edition) but as I examined it to make sure there were no flaws, I realized it stands above most reference books on this subject so I'm saving it to give to an amateur astronomist. This is absolutely packed with photos, charts, tables, camera tips, and so much more. Anyone with any interest in astronomy would love this.

Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.57 You Save: $6.38 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.99
This book is excellent. Great sketches. Great photos. Excellent information. I will keep this with me on any outings where I will be tracking unfamiliar quarry or simply interpreting what I come across. Definitely recommended.
