ReviewsMichael Runtz is highly a respected Canadian naturalist who has had a lifelong passion for writing and photographing the natural world. He has educated us all through his books and teachings. I think most of us have a copy of his best-selling book An Explorer's Guide to Algonquin Park on our shelves. Michael's latest book--Observing Nature by Canoe and Kayak--lists a name and information for all those species paddlers gawk at over the gunwale and wonder what it is and what it does... It's all in this compact, visually rich guide. The content is based on Michael's extensive knowledge of Northeastern Ontario's waterways. More than 350 species are overviewed, with flora and fauna all depicted in full-coloured photographs. Some species are common like moose and deer, but there are plenty of lesser-known plants and animals, such as sedges and freshwater sponges that paddlers have spotted on their travels and always wondered what the heck they are.
