Publisher's Synopsis
A nature journal is a powerful tool. It unlocks creativity; hones observation skills; provides a window into the past; and is the data collection backbone of the scientific process - all while reinforcing important record-keeping skills such as reading, writing, and drawing.Notable scientists, naturalists, and philosophers such as Charles Darwin, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, and John Muir were all known for keeping journals of their observations, poems, and discoveries. Many of their famous literary works and ground breaking observations were published from their journals. Charles Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle was his field journal that detailed his observations of the ecology in the Galapagos Islands.
