What do you do when you have:

• a B.A. in English and American literature
• an M.A. in education
• an M.B.A.
• a life-long love of books
• an unbridled love of the study of natural history in all its many forms
• a burning desire to share what you’ve read with others

You create a website through which to review natural history books, what else?

While my original site, Born Again Bird Watcher, continues to chronicle my adventures, reflections, and photographic work, as well as serve as the primary site for my marketing and communications consulting activities, The Well-read Naturalist is devoted entirely to books (and occasionally other related media) pertaining to natural history. So whether it flies, bears live young, has a life cycle best measured in centuries, photosynthesizes, undergoes metamorphosis, or lives at the lowest depths of the ocean, if there is a worthy book describing, explaining, investigating, or even recounting the life of someone who studied it, The Well-read Naturalist will seek to review it here.

Publishers wishing to bring their current or forth-coming titles to my attention for possible review and inclusion on The Well-read Naturalist are encouraged to contact me directly. Advance proof copies are accepted but works with significant photography or illustrations as a key part of their overall production must provide the actual published work as a validation of the proof copy.
