The story goes through 178 episodes of learning about teamwork and spirit (and you get to learn about tennis too!). I'm always leery of reading new authors because, what if I don't like the book? What if I wasted my time and my money? Inked Destiny and Inked Magic are both very sexy books. It is not a book of pictures or drawings of tracks you can use to identify tracks.
If you are looking for a good book of drawings of tracks of all sorts for North America check out the following book.
Scats and Tracks of North America: A Field Guide to the Signs of Nearly 150 Wildlife Species (Scats and Tracks Series)
I am planning to use the "Animal Tracking Basics" and "Scats and Tracks of North America" as resource books for one of our students interested in this field.. That's deadly for an instructional book.
There are other errors, but the main issue I have is that his organization seems to totally fall apart midway through the second tutorial--he jus
