 REVIEWS:

“This book is a much-needed update to Beaty’s work... The readability of the text is derived from an easy-to-read format, including the use of a larger font and concise paragraphs, and the use of language syntax understandable to the upper, elementary or middle school reader.

This book, developed with the intention of fostering in Guam’s youth an understanding and appreciation of nature, more than meets its goal... educators should consider Guam: A Natural History a vital supplementary text, if not required reading.”

—Monique Carriveau Storie, Micronesian Educator
