 me: The Wonders of Nature Just Outside Your Door by Thor HansonGet the Boo
 kWe all live on nature's doorstep, but we often overlook it. From bac
 kyards to local parks, the natural places we see the most may well be the 
 ones we know the least. In Close to Home, biologist Thor Hanson shows how
  retraining our eyes reveals hidden wonders just waiting to be discovered.
  In urban Los Angeles, hundreds of unknown species abound. In the Pacific 
 Northwest, fierce yellowjackets placidly sip honeydew, unseen in the treet
 ops. And in the soil beneath our feet, remedies for everything from breast
  cancer to the stench of skunks lie waiting for someone's searching s
 hovel. Close to Home is a hands-on natural history for any local patch of
  Earth. It shows that we each can contribute to science and improve the he
 alth of our planet. And even more, it proves that the wonders of nature do
 n't lie in some far-off land: they await us, close to home.  Meet T
