• Tracking and the Art of Seeing: How to Read Animal Tracks and Sign (1992, 1999)
  In this newly revised and updated edition of his highly acclaimed field guide, renowned nature photographer and tracking expert Paul Rezendes brings the fields and forests to life with his unique observations on North American wildlife and their tracks and sign. Illustrated with hundreds of his original photographs, Tracking & the Art of Seeing provides complete information on the behavior and habitat of over 50 animal species and shows you how to identify animals by their tracks, tail patterns, droppings, dens, scratches and other signs.

• Wetlands: The Web of Life (1996) by Paul Rezendes and Paulette M. Roy
  A magnificent journey in word and image to some of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring places in North America -- our fragile wetlands.
  
  This book is a celebration -- a plea for understanding and preservation -- of these unique and irreplaceable meeting places of life. Embark on a journey of discovery through marshes, lakes and ponds, swamps, rivers and streams, peatlands, and coastal wetlands.

• The Wild Within: Adventures in Nature and Animal Teachings (1998)
  As Jon Krakauer writes of "the dark side of the wilderness experience," Paul Rezendes writes of the spiritual side. Rezendes is one of this country's most skilled outdoorsmen: a master wildlife tracker with an uncanny ability to communicate the profound lessons he has learned from the wild about territoriality, awareness, fear, the inseparability of life and death, and the true nature of the self. Through hard personal experience, Rezendes discovered how tracking can be a powerful tool for understanding our deep connections with nature and with one another. The leader of two notorious motorcycle gangs in the early 1960s, he faced a ten-year prison sentence for drugs and illegal weapons charges. His sentence was revoked, and Rezendes transformed his life path from gang leader to Zen master, founding an ashram in southeastern Massachusetts and honing the tracking skills with which he was raised. In The Wild Within, Rezendes punctuates a gripping
  
  narrative of his wilderness adventures with simple exercises that show readers how to turn off their conscious minds and use their deeper intelligence to enter a state of oneness with the environment and to deal more effectively with daily life. In the words of Dianne Dumanoski of the Boston Globe, "Paul Rezendes's [work] is about tracking, but also much more; it shows how to find your way home to the great web of life."

• New England Harbors
  New England’s harbors served as America’s nearest links with the "Old World" and, eventually, the world beyond. Ports like Newport, Nantucket, and Essex brought business, culture, people, and news of the world to our shores. Though our harbors rarely see a square-rigged ship today, they remain bustling ports of call. New England Harbors celebrates this continued vitality.

• New England Lighthouses
  For ships at sea, the flash of a lighthouse beacon is both a warning of a dangerous shore and a welcome, as its distinctive flashes tell its location, and, thus, your own at sea. Light keepers and their families lived in isolated places, often risking their own lives in the effort to save others. This lonely, romantic history imbues lights with a special sense of place captured by Paul Rezendes in his very appealing photographs of New England Lighthouses.
