Diversions of the FieldPaperback, 10 October 2013

Diversions of the Field contains a collection of essays tackling the subjects of hunting, fishing, game animals, and wildlife throughout different regions of the country. The Atlantic called it "a refreshing animal book," and The New York Times praised Peattie's work, contending that "it is written by a naturalist, who is at heart a poet, to the land that bore him."
