A Year of Iowa Nature - Discovering Where We Live

Every Sunday evening for almost ten years, Iowa photographer and naturalist Carl Kurtz has e-mailed a photo and an extended caption to hundreds of outdoor enthusiasts. Engaging and informative, the photos focus on the world around and away from his tallgrass prairie homeplace. Now, in A Year of Iowa Nature, he presents fifty-five of his favourite photos along with an evocative introduction that urges us to go forth and discover the beauty in our own backyards.
