​The Everyday Naturalist is a great introduction or refresher on how to start identifying nature around you.  I enjoy how the author begins with the joy of simply being out in nature, noting that identification enhances enjoyment and contributes to science as a whole.  The author also acknowledges that nature identification can be difficult and offers practical advice to overcome those hurdles.  Each section details tips on how to classify the animals, plants, or fungi you encounter so you can make positive identifications.  I appreciated the guidance on describing different living things, which can improve how field guides and other resources are used.  The information on using field guides, websites and other identification resources was also helpful.
