Muir Woods: a cool, silent northern California redwood wilderness so tranquil that one could forget it's only a dozen miles from San Francisco. Like any good guidebook, Susan and Phil Frank's Insider's Guides enhance the pleasure of a trip to one of our national parks. But they go far beyond the other guides in several unique ways. Narrated by a friendly and extremely knowledgeable cartoon guide, each Insider's Guide offers a lively, funny tour of a splendid place. Readers will learn when to visit, what to bring, what to see, and how to see it. They'll arrive properly equipped for a safe and enjoyable visit. They'll come away knowing plenty about the park's geological and human history, flora, fauna, and future prospects. The question-and-answer format yields information without a lot of searching. A quick-reference section offers, among other things, a telephone directory, guide to area resources, backpacker's checklist, lists of outfitters and transportation companies, and an overview of regional conservation and educational programs. Susan Frank's text has been reviewed by park personnel and regional experts to ensure timeliness and accuracy. Illustrations by San Francisco Chronicle cartoonist Phil Frank add a warmth that other guidebooks do not achieve. This series adds immeasurably to visitors' understanding and enjoyment of our national parks -- and offers a lot of fun while they're planning their trip!
Expanding on the philosophy and methods of The Laws Guide to Nature Drawing and Journaling, John Muir Laws and Emilie Lygren have developed the first-ever comprehensive book devoted to helping educators use nature journaling as an inspiring teaching tool to engage young people with wild places. In their workshops Laws and Lygren are often asked the how-tos of teaching nature journaling: how to manage student groups in the outdoors, teach drawing skills (especially from those who profess to have none), connect journaling to educational standards, and incorporate journaling into longer lessons. This book puts together curriculum plans, advice, and in-the-field experience so that educators of all stripes can leap into journaling with their students. The approaches are designed to work in a range of ecosystems and settings, and are suitable for classroom teachers, outdoor educators, camp counselors, and homeschooling parents. Full-color illustrations and sample journal pages from notable naturalists show how to put each lesson into practice. Field-tested by over a hundred educators, this book includes dozens of activities that easily support the Common Core and the Next Generation Science Standards--and, just as important, it will show kids and mentors alike how to recognize the wonder and intrigue in their midst.
