References

The references used for this book are a mix of scientific articles, text books, popular articles, and web sites. Good information can be obtained from a variety of sources, and I've used and interpreted information from many different locations. I judged these sources to present accurate and reliable information on the topics of interest. The references vary in kind and permanence. The scientific literature is of high quality and lasting, but web sites must be judged carefully and may disappear over time. I hope you find these sources useful. The headings below will connect you to the references for each chapter.

Photograph Information

Occasionally, the location and date of a photograph are helpful in understanding what is shown. On the web pages linked below, I've included information about the 502 photos in The Nature Handbook. About 350 photos were taken by the author, so I have more information about them; although fewer details may be available about them, the 150 images obtained from nature photographers are wonderful additions to the book. For each entry, I've included all available about the identification, location, date, and photographer.
