I was delighted to meet Peter Alden, one of the authors of the book and was immediately impressed by his profound knowledge about nature and various (even the smallest and forgotten) countries all over the continents and experience in naturalism and travel. Peter is a naturalist, writer, lecturer and a wildlife tours guide to over 100 countries. Furthermore, Peter educated me on a particular bird present at Walden Pond in Concord (MA) what inspired me to use the song of the bird in my music project. Above all, it is a pleasure to read a book of or to go on tour with an author who shows such an inspiring positive attitude to life. The book is a compendium of information on New England’s flora and fauna that is supported by vivid pictures and maps. I highly recommend to take it on a hike for your next adventure through the natural wonders of the beautiful New England region.
