Yeah Mark, for that price you might want to see if it's available
somewhere locally - where you can look though it first. Seems like
one could find a used third addition for fairly cheap.
For something specifically geared to nature recording, Bernie's
aforementioned "Wild Soundscapes" is an excellent primer. I bought my
copy at a Nature Sounds Society event.
A while back Walter Knapp of this group recommended "The New Stereo
Soundbook" by Ron Streicher & F. Alton Everest. I have not yet read
the book myself except for chapter 4 which is on their website.

The table of contents there offers some insight.
Search the archives of our group to find the related discussions.
