This is a well written and very readable book that you could actually use to learn tracking. While it contains information for clear print identification, it also has several instructional chapters on the different aspects of the process of wildlife tracking that make it such an interesting and engrossing pastime. The section on each animal also has a subsection called "Track Windows" that contains tracking information that is specific to that animal. There really isn't another tracking book like this.
Second edition is really good update of a classic text. First editions are not affordable because of demand. Now they are purely collectors' interest as this book makes the information available for everyone again.
I took a desert wildlife tracking class with Jim Lowery, and it was amazing. This book is truly comprehensive, with photos, examples of gait, and measurements. Love it.
My 11 year old son was thrilled!!
one of the best
