Bibliographical

It's multimedia time. The National Public Radio station WBUR in Boston has posted this audio interview with McPhee upon the publication of his book The Founding Fish in 2002.

Cultural

Let's say you'd like to do a paper about nature preserves and wetlands but you're not sure where to begin. Check out the homepage of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, whose motto is "Conserving the Nature of America." You'll get plenty of good ideas to get started.

Like to learn more about nature writing? This is an excellent collection of web resources on the subject from Virginia Commonwealth University.

This is the homepage of TheNew Yorker, where McPhee has been a staff writer for more than three decades. Can you find anything he's written for it online?
