Natural Words is a dictionary for naturalists (naturalist - student of natural history, as a hobby or professionally). By definition, natural history is the study of living organisms and their non-living environment, usually by observation. The book contains those unique words that one might hear in a ranger's campfire talk, or read in a conservation magazine or scientific article. They express the physical description, behavior, classification, and life history of living organisms. They depict those words that illustrate the environment in which the organisms are found. Simply put, this small book is geared toward all nature lovers with an interest in learning the terminology used to relate to the natural world.
