[Sucheta · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good for those who want to get into the technical details of writing.

[sdw · Rating 4 out of 5]

This guide to creative non-fiction nature writing addresses themes useful to the general writer as well as those aspects specific to Nature Writers. The chapters are short, specific, and helpful with concrete examples from the texts of the genre. It would be most useful in the context of a class on nature writing with weekly workshops of participants' writings. It does not have the extensive and excellent suggestions for exercises and assignments that Writing About Nature has making it less useful for the writer lacking a workshop or for a teacher developing such a course. The two books cover remarkably similar ground yet the authors' voices are remarkably distinct.
