The Everyday Naturalist : How to Identify Animals, Plants, and Fungi Wherever You Go

The Everyday Naturalist: How to Identify Animals, Plants, and Fungi Wherever You Go by Rebecca Lexa is a practical field guide that teaches readers a transferable method for identifying the living things around them, no matter where they happen to be.

Rather than focusing on a single region or species group, the book lays out a step-by-step approach to noticing and recording key traits, such as colour, shape, texture, behaviour, and habitat, that can be applied to animals, plants, and fungi alike.

Illustrated with more than forty colour photographs and drawings and featuring detailed case studies, the guide is designed to build readers' confidence in recognising local biodiversity, with the aim of deepening their connection to the natural world and their ability to advocate for its conservation.
