Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-30 00:00:00 Gerald Walter Its a great book. Thomas Belt was definitely an incredibly smart man, with great attention to detail. Books like "The Naturalist in Nicaragua" should make us stop and look around our house, our country, and wonder at the incredible marvels that nature has to offer!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-09-07 00:00:00 Malik Lane My husband and I have a farm in Acoyapa, very near where Thomas Belt spent four years a century and a half ago. Of all the places he writes about, I have been to almost all of them. The animals, birds, foods, and people he encountered have not changed much at all. What a joy it was to read an experience so similar to my own! Though there are no longer wild monkeys or many alligators, his observations about the ants just cracked me up. "I know those guys!!!" I would think. I also learned things, like that we should plant madre de cacao trees above our cacao and banana trees, and that during the garapata season, we should rub our legs with wax.
