Tom Brown, Jr., "Case Files of The Tracker," 2003, about 190 pages. Stories, supposedly true. I will do a separate commentary on this book along with three other Tom Brown, Jr. books I read a bit later.

Tom Brown, Jr., "The Science and Art of Tracking: Nature's Path to Spiritual Discovery," 1999, about 210 pages. Notable for two things: great detail on learning the theory of pressure releases accompanied by many diagrams and photographs; and a lot of spiritual assertions. I also found a lot of useful general tracking information in this book.
I will do a separate commentary on this book along with three other Tom Brown, Jr. books I read a bit later.

Tom Brown, Jr., "Field Guide: Nature Observation and Tracking," 1983, about 250 pages. About one-third on awareness and observation technique, including stalking and camouflage; and two-thirds on tracking technique, including pressure releases. Laced with Mr. Brown's beliefs on spirit-in-nature. Filtering out the belief system I found a great deal of useful and interesting information.

The observation skills are more critical to learning tracking than most people are aware of. Identifying the tracks is easy, noticing them and knowing where to look for other sign is much more difficult.
