Nature Discoveries With a Hand Lens

Armed with an inexpensive hand lens and this engaging informative book, nature lovers can embark on a fascinating journey into the hidden mysteries of the natural world-a universe of surprising details, and a richness of color and texture not apparent to the naked eye. The author takes us on a month-to-month guided tour of yard, garden, meadow, woods, pond and stream. He describes the plant, animal, bird, and insect life we can expect to find there, and explains in a clear and interesting manner the functions of his subject, whether it be the bumblebee's pollen sac or the feathery parachute of a milkweed seed.
