SUMMARY:Visiting Author - Rebecca Lexa - The Everyday Naturalist: How to Identify Animals\, Plants\, and Fungi Wherever You Go
DESCRIPTION:Fellow nature lovers\, book lovers\, and all of those who love to pick up new hobbies\, come meet author and naturalist Rebecca Lexa as she talks about “Five Reasons to Be an Everyday Naturalist”\, highlighting some great benefits of learning to identify the living beings around you. We will have copies of her book for you to purchase and she will sign when the talk is over. We can’t wait to see you there!\nTo order a copy of the book\, follow the link HERE to Francie & Finch Bookshop’s online store!\nAbout the Book:\nLearn to identify animals\, plants\, and fungi wherever you go with this step-by-step guide for spotting and recording key traits and characteristics. \nIf you’ve ever consulted a field guide to identify a new bird at your feeder\, you know the process isn’t as easy as it sounds. In fact\, it seems like you have to know a lot about that mystery bird to even figure out where to start. \nThe Everyday Naturalist fills in the gaps by explaining what traits to pay attention to when encountering a new species; how and when to use field guides\, apps\, and other resources; what to do if you get stuck; and more. Rather than focusing on one region or continent\, these skills and tools are designed to help you classify nature anywhere you are—whether on familiar territory\, traveling\, or in a new home. \nIn chapters about animals\, plants\, fungi\, and organisms like lichens and slime molds\, naturalist and guide Rebecca Lexa goes into detail about what sets each of these kingdoms apart from each other—from color\, shape\, and texture to reproductive characteristics\, behavior\, and habitat—and includes more than forty full-color photos and drawings to illustrate key points. She also provides detailed case studies to demonstrate how to use all of these traits to identify specimens across multiple kingdoms. \nThis easy-to-follow guide empowers you to learn more about the species around you\, then use what you know to preserve the world you love. And at a time when biodiversity is imperiled worldwide\, nature needs more advocates than ever. \nAbout the Author:\nRebecca Lexa is a certified Master Naturalist\, writer\, nature guide\, and educator in the Pacific Northwest. She has a master’s degree in counseling psychology with a certificate in ecopsychology\, the psychology of how we connect to the natural world. She specializes in helping everyday people learn skills and tools for identifying the animals\, plants\, and fungi around them and gaining a deeper relationship with nature. More about Rebecca and her work may be found at www.RebeccaLexa.com. \nRebecca explains that much of her work was developed on unceded Chinook land in southwest Washington.
