This may not interest some of our readers, but we will be adding a book review feature to the blog. We will try and keep the books relevant to Natural History, History and general adventures and misadventures, basically books that you might be interested in too, even if they do not deal with camera trapping. However, we reserve the right to write about Latin American authors that are not even tangentially linked to the outdoors because it may be one of my favorite styles of writing. And they usually take place in the jungle, even if it is a brothel in the jungle, so that's close to the wilderness right?
I will have the first review coming in a couple of days. These things are harder to write than one might think.
I also wanted to use this post to say that my autobiography of Mark Twain finally showed up in the mail today. Twain is about as American as one can get and I look forward to reading about his adventures, especially the California ones.
I will also point out that UC Press who published this book 100 years after Twain's death, as per his request, is a fantastic publisher. They put out a wonderful line of Science books including the great California Natural History Series. I encourage you to buy directly through UC Press so they can continue to support publication of works that might not otherwise see the typesetter. Where else are you going to find a 624 page tome on the Greater Sage Grouse?
Twain would probably like the publishing connection to Greater Sage Grouse. After all, he groused a lot, was greater than other great American writers, and could be relied upon give sage advice.
