“The Voyage of the Cormorant” by Christian Beamish, in which he tells about building a boat in his garage and sailing the coastal waters of the Pacific. Beamish, who signed up for the U.S. Navy two weeks after graduating from high school, is a writer for Surfer magazine. His book offers refreshing writing about real-life experiences.

“Nature’s Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation That Starts in Your Yard” by naturalist Douglas W. Tallamy is the more practical sequel to his earlier book
“Bringing Nature Home.” It’s more practical because his area of concern has increased to the Midwest. It’s more interesting because it includes more photos of caterpillars.
