There is an old-fashioned charm about Curt Stager’s Field Notes from the
Northern Forest. Stager is that rare breed of scientist who can write for the
nonscientist. These 20 seasonal essays range from bird-feeder biology to the
northern lights in an entertaining yet informative way. Published by Syracuse
University Press, £21.50/$26.95, ISBN 0815605137.
