Introduces the urban of settlers to the ways of Britain's flora and fauna. Teeming with illustrations, this book helps you gain knowledge to predict the weather, befriend seabirds, and create a breakfast from the most unpromising undergrowth. |
| Synopsis: |
If only everything in the countryside came with helpful name tags and instructions attached, knowing stuff about nature would be child's play. Until that day, "The Armchair Naturalist" is on hand to guide even the most urban of settlers in the ways of Britain's flora and fauna. Teeming with illustrations, "The Armchair Naturalist" will transform you overnight into an expert on anything Mother Nature may throw at you, from furry animals to fir trees, cows to cowslips, blue tits to bluebells, toads to toadstools, and much more besides. Astonish your friends as you plunge your hands into nettles without being stung. Be secretly amazed at your newfound talent for predicting the weather, befriending seabirds, and knocking up a nourishing breakfast from even the most unpromising undergrowth. So whether in the countryside or city, get a little more out of the natural world around you by making this pocket-width book an essential item every time you step outside. |
