Praise for PONDS: An Illustrated Guide: Patrick Lynch has created a completely unique, recognizable, and friendly concept and design for highly informative and much-needed natural history guides. PONDS is the latest of his stunning books, and I love it! —Carl Safina, PhD, author of Alfie and Me: What Owls Know, What Humans Believe Pat Lynch has carved out a remarkable niche as the premier field guide author working today. His books are designed so that the outstanding illustrations and lucid writing work together seamlessly. —David Skelly, Frank R. Oastler Professor of Ecology, Yale University, and director, Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History I love this book! PONDS is a stunning guide to pond life for the twenty-first century and offers bright and beautifully rendered illustrations and lots of new information. It is your own personal introduction to a colorful and magical world. —James Prosek, artist, and author of Eels: An Exploration, from New Zealand to the Sargasso, of the World’s Most Mysterious Fish
