Of Time and Turtles
Mending the World, Shell by Shattered Shell, by Sy Montgomery, is a fascinating, very insightful read about turtles, their life histories, rescuing and rehabilitating, then releasing the recovered ones back to natural habitat.
I highly recommend this book for anyone with even the slightest interest in natural history, as I would think all of us pond people are.
It was published just last September. For me it was the best book I've read in years, and I read a lot.
Enjoy.
