Adventures with a Texas Naturalist by Roy Bedichek
A classic since its first publication in 1947, Adventures with a Texas Naturalist distills a lifetime of patient observations of the natural world. This reprint contains a new introduction by noted nature writer Rick Bass.
A Texan wholly devoted to his native Southwest, he was regional but not provincial... Roy Bedichek was a true scientist, with a luminous curiosity more like the ancient Greeks' than today's. * Audubon *
. . Texas cannot really be known without reading Adventures with a Texas Naturalist. -- A. C. Greene * The 50 Best Books on Texas *
Whether studying the effects of grazing goats on roadside wildflowers or reveling in the fiery beauty of a vermilion flycatcher, Bedichek writes with a marvelous style that begs quotation at every turn. -- John and Gloria Tveten * Houston Chronicle *
A book that should be required reading in high school or college, one that ought to be in every deer camp or in every biker's pack. It is a thoughtful book but also pleasant to the senses. It is a book that can be read once and then delved into again some other time, as enduring as nature itself. * Austin American-Statesman *
