The Walker's Guide to Outdoor Clues and Signs: The bestselling classic that transforms how you see the world around you - a must-read for all nature lovers

Excellent book, very informative with loads of handy and interesting info in there. Perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors

Being a country boy through and through, and always itching to soak up more about my surroundings, I picked up this book thinking I might learn a tidbit or two. Well, I surely have, and since I’m only about halfway through, there’s still plenty more wisdom heading my way. Some of it is so obvious it’s practically wearing overalls and waving from the front porch—but maybe that’s just me. After all, as I mentioned, I’m a country boy; a city slicker might find these nuggets downright revelatory. All in all, a recommended read for folks of all stripes—boots optional.

I wanted this book for someone who loves walking and nature but is dyslexic. Sadly, although the book has lots of interesting facts it was unsuitable because there are very few pictures in relation to the written words.

Bought this with Weather Secrets and Trees as a present - buy a collection for broader appeal; some may keep these in their vehicle to amuse passengers.

This is a delightfully rewarding book to read and is laid out in such a way that you can take it as a reference or as a narrative. Practically every page taught me something new and presented it in such a way that i immensely enjoyed looking out to 'prove' what i was reading and was well rewarded. I can see the trees in my garden, or the wildlife on walks in a different light now. The illustrations where provided are practical and effective. Some of the authors observations may seem trivial but the way he has written and collected them is enlightening in itself and has certainly encouraged me to explore his work further. There is a lot of detail to encourage deeper research about a topic without it becoming too heavy handed so the work can cover many areas. The observations are based in the western hemisphere (which suits me) but there is also some investigation and stories of the authors adventures and nature in other climates which i found authentic and very interesting. 10/10

This book should be fascinating. I read about it in the Metro and thought must read it. But rather like a walk through thick overgrowth, this can be at times slow, sometimes lose the footpath and yet you keep going knowing there is always the chance to find something round the corner that stuns you. Tristan is a survivalist, if that is a word, able to get around without a map, compass or anything other than what nature supplies. And that is the fascination in this book. It even helped me find a rainbow recently. I knew there would be one, then I remembered what I had read about the sun, rain and rainbows. And yet there is something missing. Maybe I have not reached the Wow corner yet, but rather like a track where the fern has turned brown it is dry. There is something of the look how clever I am about the book. Adding personal anecdotes in should enliven rather than stall yet for some reason it does. I suspect this book will be a ramble rather than a stroll, will take a while to complete but when I do I suspect I will be grateful. And lets face it,if we know our trees we want to know what side the moss grows or what side has a thicker canopy, it is always useful to know which direction our weather comes from, or what flowers prefer dry to damp soil, it adds to our enjoyment around us, and this does that... Do read it, because I suspect like a canal footpath walk whilst some will admire the flowers on the river bank so others will enjoy the sight of a former factory falling into disrepair There will be something for everyone just not everything.

Good book for lovers of the outdoors.

My granddaughter loved this book Full of information

Tristan Gooley writes for people who have never walked or left a city. I bought the book thinking it would be useful to me, but I found the observations pretty obvious and the style a severe obstacle. At least he is walking. That is a good thing.

Une mine d'informations sur notre merveilleuse nature (celle qui subsiste !!!!). L'auteur ne se prend pas la tête, il nous apprend à observer et nous invite à faire nos propres découvertes. Où que vous soyez : verte, ville, plaine, montagne .... observez, observez, observez...

Very engaging. Not pompous at all. Well worth it. SORTED

Old knowledge, worth preserving, and worthy of knowing.
