Leave Only Ripples

(Sorry, I haven't been here for a while---got some really big projects at work right now--planning to be back for good in a couple weeks.)

In "Leave Only Ripples", readers will feel they are part of a family canoe trip in the Boundary Waters. Written by Consie Powell, the book is wonderfully illustrated with hand-colored woodblock prints, ink and watercolor drawings, and other field sketches. The book introduces some of the natural and human history of this region, and could supplement a plant and animal study of northern Minnesota.
