Reviews for "The Natural History of Western Massachusetts."
"Over the years I've acquired several books on hiking, biking, kayaking, etc. ... Many of them are focused on the Northeast, or New England or Southern New England. They are good books, but precious few are dedicated to the Pioneer Valley area exclusively. Its trails, hills, wildlife. The nooks and crannies and beautiful places that only people who live here could know."
"I finally came across the book that I'd been imagining, lo these many years ... To quote the cover: 'Birds, wildflowers, ice age, trees, dinosaurs, bears, weather, beavers, turtles, butterflies, geology, fish, mountains, deer, frogs, ecosystems.' All of it, and more. And easy to read and understand, for us slower kids in the class. Easy concise local information. With brilliant photos, drawings, and graphics ... If you enjoy the valley, you'll enjoy this book." – Tony Mateus, thepioneervalley.blogspot.com
"This book, filled with color photos on just about every page, is both enjoyable to look at and educational, a combination that should help it find an audience of diverse ages and interests." – The Daily Hampshire Gazette
