I spoke with Deborah Edelman and Adina Merenlender, two of the co-authors of the California Naturalist Handbook.
This new second edition is significant as a resource for science-based information about California's ecosystems, the role of Citizen Scientists, and the California Naturalist Certification course given each year across the state.
Deborah will give an in-person talk at Mendocino Book Company in Ukiah on Thursday November 6th, 5:30 pm; and Adina will be at Gallery Bookshop in Mendocino Village on November 13, at 6:00. Contact the bookstores directly for information about the author events or to purchase copies of the book! Mendocino Book Co, 707-468-5940; Gallery Bookshop, 707-937-2665.
