Chasing Monarchs: Migrating with the Butterflies of Passage

Robert Michael Pyle

Mariner Books, 2001

One of the Big Two for 1999
I'm amazed no one else wrote about this book. Lepidopterists know it, and Pyle, well. My friends at the New York Butterfly Club put me on to this book and Kurt Johnson's Nabokov's Blues. They are both great books. Pyle's book takes you on a journey from the Pacific Northwest all the way to Mexico, following the annual fall migration of these magnificent orange butterflies. You not only ...

Seattle Audubon Society, 2002

A must have for naturalists in the Pacific Northwest.
This field guide is well organized with beautiful photos. Each butterfly listed has a key for recognition, variations, life history as well as habitat range and the time of year you are likely to see this butterfly on the wing. A particularly nice feature is is the list of names for each as butterflies often have akas (also known as.)Dr. Pyles broad knowledge of nature allows him to include ...

You Don't Have to Be an Arkansan to Find This Book Useful!
This book is illustrated with full-color photos throughout-- and most appear to be taken in the wild. No cheesy watercolor drawings here. Even if you don't live in Arkansas, like I now do, _Arkansas Butterflies and Moths_ might just be more useful to you as a field guide than those various field guides that cover the whole of North America! I particularly enjoyed Lori's description of the fun ...

Bob Pyle's best book yet!
Of all Mr. Pyle's books this one is the most lyrical and delicious. Just read a page before you go to sleep and you will dream of lush forest and lovely creatures on land and in the sky. Every sentence is filled with wonderful images of nature. It would make a nature lover out of any reader.

Where Bigfoot Walks: Crossing the Dark Divide

19 reviews
Robert Michael Pyle

Mariner Books, 1997

Rich, rewarding work from talented writer
Face it, if you are looking for a book "about" Bigfoot, it is necessarily going to be slim. With no definitive proof that Bigfoot exists - no data to analyze, no pictures, no fossils, no bodies - the basic gist of purportedly "scientific" Bigfoot books boils down to a lot of speculating about second hand information. Interesting perhaps, but never convincing. You either believe or you don't. (And ...

Great field guide!
Though it took a bit longer than expected to arrive, i am very pleased. The color photos are great. Some times I wish it had the little map of the US to show the range of the butterflies, but this is not a big deal. Over all a great field guide.

Houghton Mifflin, 1992

We think Its Great!
I got this from my son who needed a field guide to take to the park and forests. He loves it and so do I. Before we had borrowed our local libraries' 1950 edition of butterfly field guild. What an improvement! Unlike some people we just love it. The pictures are easy to use in the open where you can just notice a few things before whats being observed takes off flying. Opler is very good at ...

Robert Michael Pyle

The Lyons Press, 1998

A fine example of regional writing, focusing on Colorado
Starting from a personal viewpoint (but in no means limited by it) author Robert Michael Pyle eloquently writes of the importance of nature and of making a personal connection to the land and the natural world. Never preachy, he manages to gently urge the reader to look more closely at the local landmarks, wildlife and little details that make up their most familiar landscapes. I saw the ...

Nabokov's Butterflies: Unpublished and Uncollected Writings

Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov

Beacon Press, 2000

It Always Came Down To Butterflies
"From the age of seven, everything I felt in connection with a rectangle of framed sunlight was dominated by a single passion," wrote Valdimir Nabokov. "If my first glance of the morning was for the sun, my first thought was for the butterflies it would engender." This was certainly an unusual way in which to view the world and one that not many readers, even those who adore Nabokov, have ...
