Circle of the Seasons: The Journal of a Naturalist's Year

(From Wikipedia) Edwin Way Teale (June 2, 1899 - October 18, 1980) was an American naturalist, photographer, and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer. Teale's works serve as primary source material documenting environmental conditions across North America from 1930 - 1980. He is perhaps best known for his series The American Seasons, four books documenting over 75,000 miles (121,000 km) of automobile travel across North America following the changing seasons.
