I selected Chuck Fergus's book "Wildlife of Pennsylvania and the Northeast". Chuck has done a lot to introduce both amateur and professional biologists and naturalists to the world of wildlife and natural history. Chuck's book brings the world of wildlife to the public, providing answers and provoking us to develop our awareness and let our imaginations wander as we explore Pennsylvania's forests and fields We tend to care about things we are familiar with and only by getting out into nature and experiencing the complex and exciting drama that is unfolding around us everyday will we learn to appreciate, and eventually preserve and protect the wild animals and places around us. Chuck is a good friend who recently moved away from Pennsylvania.
