An invaluable resource for anyone who works with children, this is a comprehensive guide to written and audiovisual materials that can help provide educational and enjoyable experiences for young people exploring nature. While previous bibliographies have tended to emphasize a strictly scientific approach, Discovering Nature with Young People lists resources that will enable a child to achieve a multi-faceted nature experience through reading, instruction, or direct encounters.
