Have you ever seen Wall-E? Do yo remember when they arrived on the planet and needed a crash course about life on Earth and how to crawl out of the spaceship?. I think you know where I am heading with this. How to Read Nature aims to help you notice your natural surroundings and awaken to a more nature-mindful you. It is a spark, an introductory approach to nature and how you can understand and interact with it through natural navigation. What the book is not, is a specialized guide for those who already have a fair understanding of natural navigation and desire more in-depth content. Hint: check other books by the author and his beautiful website.

What I specially liked was Gooley's sense of humor and easy to follow exercises, almost as if he was giving me a remote course. If this book succeeds and gets you interested about nature, you can find a lengthy list of literature for further reading (curated by Gooley) at the end of the book. It is organized matching each chapter and includes a brief description for each title. If Thoreau was still alive, he would probably give 5 stars as well.
