The New Stereo Soundbook by RON STREICHER and F. ALTON EVEREST
http://www.stereosoundbook.com/
A good, minimally technical coverage of stereo recording techniques. A
reference I return to often. Will provide a sound basis for working in
stereo.
The tricky part for nature recording is almost all stereo techniques
were designed for indoor situations. Or at least acoustically much
simpler situations than we face. Texts and so on can help, but we often
have to modify the techniques. Understanding the basis of how stereo
works is important.
