Created from the very best of 16 years of nature essays published in the Idaho Falls Post Register (online readership 70,000), The Best of Nature is a fine read. It covers a wide variety of topics including humorous glimpses of nature, philosophy, natural history, and conservation. Readers praise Terry's style, breadth of subject matter and his ability to communicate complex and emotional topics in a relaxed and understandable manner. From teenagers to octogenarians, from the coffee shop to the school room, Terry's columns are widely read and enjoyed. Some of the columns here are Terry's personal favorites, others seemed to strike a chord with readers. Most have an important message or lesson that will resonate with readers. They are written with a goal to simultaneously entertain and educate about the wonderful workings of nature. Hopefully, at least one story makes you laugh out loud and another one brings a tear to the eye and warms your heart. "You hit a home run with your article on, Big Questions in Nature.
