Bought this for my ecology major boyfriend. He loves the book, and as LA locals, we can't wait to find new places to take "field trips" to on the weekend! The illustrations and photos are beautiful, the writing is detailed and descriptive, and it's probably the best gift I've ever picked out for him!
I read hundreds of books every year and few have impressed as much as Wild LA. Beautifully presented, informative, friendly, interesting, and never talking down to the audience. The authors have done stellar work in all aspects of this nature guide and there is so much in here that I didn't even know/realize, despite having grown up around so many of these nature areas in LA. From urban legends of 'glowing cats' to the variety of native and non native species that have made their home in Los Angeles with urbanization.The first half of the book is an overview of Los Angeles - from its ancient history in the La Brea Tar Pits, water issues, fires, native species, exotic species, after dark, migration, backyards, and the science being done by ordinary people. The middle of the book is a really nicely presented breakdown of 101 LA species to know - they can be anything from plants to insects to animals, native and non-native. Then the third portion of the book is a list of field trips that stretch from the beach to Mount Baldy. Nearly all are in the urban areas of Los Angeles - from Whittier to Pasadena, Torrance to Long Beach.The book is written in a clear and friendly manner suitable for kids but also adults. It never talks down to the audience and the wealth of information is staggering. But more importantly, that information is presented in a colloquial way that makes it palatable and actually fun and interesting. The text is very conversational and reminds me of being taught by the best teachers: the ones who are passionate about their field of work but also love working with people.The first section has great information about the past that we are finding today but also discusses quite a bit about the milieu in which we have native and non native species. From parrots to poison oak, bats to geckos. Each chapter is prefaced by a real world example of someone interacting with the nature (e.g., a young boy who uses his iphone ap to study bats in the area at nighttime baseball games) and there are many callouts full of interesting asides and facts.The 101 species has all the information you need to know about LA nature: background on the origins of the species, where they live, pictures that show their distinctive marks (e.g., side by side of a raven and a crow so you can tell the difference), and a lot of other information. It's surprisingly interesting and never dry reading and the facts are always fascinating.The third section, the hikes/nature walks, has a map, pictures and callouts of the nature you can find there, and why that area is worth the hike. Tips like parking information, time of year/day to go, exact address, difficulty, distance of the hikes, facilities such as picnic tables and bathrooms, and special notes are clearly marked and easy to read in advance. I was greatly surprised at many of them - some even in cities I had lived next to but never explored or even knew there were dams or waterfalls in that area! E.g., I used to work at NASA JPL and saw the deer all the time but never knew there was a a waterfall hike just around the corner or a damn just a few blocks away.I highly recommend this book, especially for families. The copious amount of images as well as the great information provided makes this a must for learning about the nature of Los Angeles. Though I know the authors must be passionate about the topic, it isn't as preachy about conservation, either. The authors make good points that help us appreciate our nature - and by appreciating, want to keep. I think that has to be the best message in the book. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.
Who knew there is so much nature around urban Los Angeles? It really is Wild LA.This guidebook contains something for every Los Angeleno (or visitor). There is a page of pictures, descriptions, and interesting facts for 101 species including birds, mammals, insects, reptiles, snails, mold, and plants. All are found in greater Los Angeles and each profile gives the best locations to find them. There are twenty-five field trips around LA described that include directions, maps, and things to see. Ways to turn your own backyard into a wildlife habitat are also included.A comprehensive and useful guide to the nature that is all around Los Angeles. Wild LA is recommended for nature lovers around LA and those who wish to educate their children. 4 stars!Thanks to Timber Press and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
I am a biologist and grew up in the area. I thought I knew every place there was to find wildlife in LA and boy was I wrong! The day after buying it I went on one of the field trips and had so much fun. It's great for all ages and all knowledge, simple identifications in the front and some local species of plants/fungi/insects I didn't know the names of before. Also gives information on the best places to find the plants and animals! This book is amazing and I'll be using it every day for the next few weeks to go on a ton of trips!
