Available at Amazon Check Price Now!



The National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Wildflowers: Western Region Specifications


Covering the vast region from Alaska to California and east to the Great Plains, this well-produced, compact guidebook contains color plates depicting more than 650 wildflower species grouped by flower color to suit the needs of inexperienced enthusiasts. The plates are keyed to texts that offer physical descriptions of the flowers and their leaves and, where applicable, fruit, along with notes on habitat and range and, often, further notes on the flower's name (e.g., "The common name, Clammyweed, refers to the sticky, moist glands on the surface of this plant"). Expertly written and photographed, this guide is just the book to have on hand when traversing western wildflower country. --Gregory McNamee


The National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Wildflowers: Western Region Overviews


Nothing is as colorful as a field of wildflowers in full-bloom so what could be more appropriate than a magnificent field guide with beautiful full-color photographs? More than 1,000 species are covered in full detail, with notes on more than 400 others. The 700 identification photographs show wildflowers-including grasses and sedges, and many flowering vines and shrubs-in their natural habitats.

Note: the Western Edition covers the Rocky Mountain range and all the states to the west of it, while the Eastern Edition generally covers states east of the Rocky Mountains.

Favorite Wildflowers: Of the Great Lakes and Northeastern U.S. Overviews


Wildflowers are different from many wild things in that they don't scurry away never to be seen again, and they are not afraid when we approach them. Wildflowers are wonderful. They are colorful, they smell good, and they are everywhere. They are an integral part of our environment appearing almost as if by magic in our backyards, neighborhoods, local parks, woods, and fields. With a little effort, we can become acquainted with the wildflowers of our yards and neighborhoods, learn their names, and even a little more about them. You will find yourself looking forward to them each year and will discover that you learn something new each season. The purpose of this book is five-fold. First, it will help you learn to identify the most common wildflowers in any neighborhood, field, yard, or park. Second, you will learn about the basic anatomy of the plant and its flowers as an aid in the identification process. Third, you will come to appreciate the role of the wildflower in the world of nature. It is exciting to realize that the Goldfinch feeding on the thistledown of the Bull Thistle could mean the young are in a nest nearby, or that perhaps the Finch is taking the thistledown to build a nest. It is fascinating to know the Teasel head will soon be getting two rings of flowers as it continues blooming, and if it is to be used in a dried fall flower arrangement we need to bring gloves in order to handle it safely. The fourth purpose of this book is to encourage you to use these plants in your own backyards and gardens. Many of these plants can be successfully used to enhance the landscape design. Often this can be done as effortlessly as collecting seeds or digging a plant or two. However, care must be taken not to violate any laws or the integrity of another's property. Many wildflower gardeners are willing to share. Wildflower gardening is very popular and many gift catalogs exist as well as local garden shops that can take care of your needs. As this book cannot possibly cover all the wildflowers, the fifth purpose is to pique your curiosity and encourage you to learn more about other plants and wildflowers.

Wildflowers (World of Nature)


I first encountered Isabel Quigly's name, and a reference to this book, many years ago in the introduction she wrote to Kipling's "Stalky & Co." After many years of searching in vain for a copy, one finally came to me through the miracle of inter-library loan. As someone who always had a general and somewhat uninformed interest in this genre, I now have a much more complete picture of the rise and decline of the British school story. For all I know, this may be the definitive work on the genre. What I can say that it is about as definitive as a non-specialist like me will probably ever need.

From her vast reading of nearly a century's worth of novels, serials, and short stories set in British public schools, Isabel Quigly here focuses on the most significant, most representative, and best-written, as well as early works by otherwise notable authors, particularly P.G. Wodehouse. The aforementioned "Stalky & Co.," reviled in its day but now seen as one of the most memorable of all school stories, gets an entire chapter of its own.

Quigly traces the school story from the founding text of the genre, "Tom Brown's Schooldays," up to the collapse of the school story along about World War II. She reveals an interesting parallelism, in that the stories imitated, exaggerated, parodied, and abandoned the "Tom Brown" model while British public schools themselves did much the same with the example of Dr. Arnold's Rugby, the school at which "Tom Brown" was set.

Though the author's understanding of the genre seems nearly encyclopedic, it is far from uncritical. Both in her overview of school stories generally and her discussion of specific titles, she is clear-eyed and unsentimental, giving praise or criticism where it's deserved. Given the apparently overwhelming number of bad "pop" school stories, I was hoping she would indulge in something along the lines of Bill Pronzini's "Gun in Cheek" books, giving us a chapter or two of so-bad-its-good hilarity. Unfortunately, she restrained herself here.

Even in the absence of such an entertaining, if unprofessional, diversion, there's enough personality in the author's writing to keep the reader entertained. Far from a dull survey of a dead genre, this was a useful and interesting guide to a once-popular but now extinct class of literature. Readers interested in the school story, the British public school, or even British upper-class culture generally circa 1840-1940 would do well to find a copy of this book. I'm sorry it took me so long to do so, but at least it was worth the wait.

Wildflowers (World of Nature) Overviews


In their heyday, the English public schools inspired an astonishing effusion of novels and stories about school life, of which Tom Brown's Schooldays is perhaps still the best known, and was certainly the most influential. Continually counterpointing school life as it really was with its fictional image, Isabel Quigly discusses her chosen stories in relation to those themes which recur in the genre: the cult of games, the love story, the boarding school as a training ground for the Empire, schoolboy heroics and an extraordinary preoccupation with death. Her range is wide: from classics like Stalky & Co, Anstey's Vice Versa, and P. G. Wodehouse's school stories, to the schoolgirl tales of Angela Brazil: from nostalgic and snobbish accounts of Eton to Alec Waugh's daring and precocious novel, The Loom of Youth. The Heirs of Tom Brown is an entertaining and original investigation into the literary, social and cultural history of the English school story. 'An excellent guide to this curious but interesting chapter in social and literary history' John Rae, Listener

Michigan Wildflowers in Color, Revised Edition with Wildflower Walks


This book was originally published in 1985, and my copy belongs to the eighth printing in 1999. Its popularity is well-deserved. Author and photographer, Harry C. Lund has spent many years hiking through bogs, forests, meadows, and sand dunes in Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas and its off-shore islands in order to put together this book for us. I have yet to find a Michigan wild flower that isn't listed in this guide. The book is well-bound and would easily fit into your backpack for a walk through the wild.

The flower photographs are grouped by color for ease of location. They are then listed in the order in which they appear during the growing season, which is a little trickier to use. I basically start at the beginning of a color group and page through until I find the flower I'm trying to identify. There are generally six photographs to a page, with the text on the facing page. In some cases, the photographs are a bit too small to easily recognize the flower, but when combined with the text there should be no identification problem.

At the beginning of "Michigan Wildflowers in Color," the author has illustrated textual terms such as 'stipules' or 'basal leaves' with a collection of line drawings. The plant descriptions include location, seasonal display, height, and information on whether the flower is protected and should not be picked or moved.

There is a quiz at the back of the book to test your 'flower power.' There is also an 'Observer's List' to keep track of the flowers you do find. Unfortunately, the first entry I wanted to check off wasn't on the list! Perhaps this is because Crown Vetch is not really a wild flower, although its photograph and description appear in the main section of this book.

The author has also mapped out eight wildflower trails in various Michigan habitats, plus the seasonal species of flowers that can be found there.

In total, "Michigan Wildflowers in Color" is a very helpful guide, especially when used in combination with a book like the Peterson "Field Guide to Wildflowers" where the drawings might serve as a confirmation or a backup to Lund's photographs. Leaves in particular are easier to identify through Peterson's drawings.

Wildflowers Across America Specifications


Wildflowers Across America is a serious treatise on the status of plants native to North America. It's also a beautifully illustrated coffee-table book with hundreds of gorgeous photographs that will convince you that no fancy cultivar could match the glowing beauty of a field of lupinus texensis, more commonly known as Texas bluebonnets. Lady Bird Johnson, former first lady and the most visible proponent of indigenous botany, and well-known horticulturist Carlton B. Lees take turns describing their adventures with wildflowers, the history of plant exploration, regional plants, and the landscape beautification movement that Mrs. Johnson popularized and still vigorously supports. The lovely regional portfolio in the middle of the book is particularly interesting.


Wildflowers Across America Overviews


Hundreds of photographs complement a text that makes a compelling argument for the preservation and proliferation of the natural beauty of America's native flora.
