Daniel Mathews
Rocky Mountain Field Guide: A Trailside Natural History
The WAF 2024 Book Fair welcomes writer/naturalist/backpacker Daniel Mathews. Daniel’s new book, Rocky Mountain Field Guide: A Trailside Natural History, is both gorgeously illustrated and beautifully written. It is both a perfect camp or armchair read! The guide covers a vast range from the Canadian border south to New Mexico — including parts of Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming — and into the Columbia River valley in northernmost Washington. Daniel’s book, Trees in Trouble: Wildfires, Infestations, and Climate Change, is an essential read for those concerned about the long-term future of our forests. It’s a troubling story of the devastating and compounding effects of climate change in the Western and Rocky Mountain states. His Cascadia Revealed: A Guide to the Plants, Animals, & Geology of the Pacific Northwest Mountains is an updated printing of an earlier guide now full of beautiful color photos, that includes 131 additional species. You can meet Daniel on Saturday at the Book Fair!
