Since 1994, Hampshire House Publishing Co. has been a part-time publisher of regional natural history books and some fiction. At the moment, we have only five titles available, all nonfiction.
Our titles are THE NATURAL HISTORY OF NEW YORK - SECOND EDITION (2015), THE NATURAL HISTORY OF PENNSYLVANIA (2015), THE NATURAL HISTORY OF WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS - SECOND EDITION (2015), THE NATURAL HISTORY OF EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS - SECOND EDITION (2016) AND THE NATURAL HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY (2016). There is information about those five titles below. |
Our natural history guides are unique and comprehensive. We began with a series of articles covering dozens of topics – with text, illustrations, charts and photographs – and are attempting to adapt the material to each state in the series, starting with those in the Northeast.
Each guide contains more than 400 full-color photographs and illustrations. The articles cover everything from bears and beavers to snakes and spiders to weather and wildflowers. Learn about your state's geology, its endangered species and its rivers and mountains. Find out how it was shaped by the ice age and the movement of the continents. Learn about the first human residents. There are identification charts and photos for common birds, butterflies, trees and wildflowers. And there’s a month-by-month calendar showing when events in nature happen in the state. |
