- (From Planeta journal) While the publisher heralds this book as "the definitive resource to North American natural history," the book could use more references to Mexico. However, this is one of the few books that actually (and correctly) places Mexico in the correct continent. That said, this digest provides short lessons into North American geology, climate and biology. It's both a useful research tool and a very pleasant read. The compilation of so much useful information deserves special kudos.
