Hi Mark--
Concerning principles of near to medium field stereo sound recording,
I'd suggest
"On-Location Recording Techniques," by Bruce Bartlett with Jenny Bartlett
http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=0240803795&cid=555822379136737004#ps-sellers
Its not very useful for locating suitable mic models for nature
recording. This list's archive has a wealth of discussion about mic
selection. Try:
