ature is something we all experience every day. Trees that sustain us with oxygen, mosquitoes that bite
us, birds that wake us up in the morning with their varying songs, the smell of
fresh-cut grass—all part of our world and the world of nature.
This month, we want to celebrate nature with
books and films that fill our shelves and explore the wonders of the natural
world. Read about the toxic fungus that probably infected the girls at
Salem in 1691 and other Wicked Plants in Amy Stewart’s informative and
fascinating volume. Discover the otherworldly
creatures of the deep sea in the DVD series The Blue Planet: Seas of Life. Delve into the beautiful a long-lost
manuscript written one hundred years ago that includes vibrant butterfly
illustrations from North America by the artist Titian Peale. The Butterflies of North America also includes
scanned pages from the original manuscript!
We have volumes on bees, bugs, plants, animals, mushrooms, and DVDs
on the seas and the earth. Come on in
and share in the wonders of the world you never knew existed!
