“Unlike the standard nature guides that explain how to recognize
common animals, Nature stresses the web of
interrelationships that link the regional flora and fauna. This
affectionate examination of some of North America’s most
spectacular surviving old-growth forests will delight backpackers
and armchair naturalists.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review
Everything you ever wanted to know about the flora and fauna of
Southeast Alaska is contained in the third edition of this lively
field guide to the natural world, from bears to banana slugs,
mountains to murrelets. The authors, who are both Alaskan residents
and biologists, combine scientific research with personal
experiences to make a definitive field guide for residents of or
visitors to Southeast Alaska. The unique features of the book
include: In-depth information about how wildlife coexists with the
environment Detailed discussions of mammals, birds, fish,
invertebrates, fungi, and plants Detailed map of wilderness areas
in Southeast Alaska More than 200 black-and-white illustrations A
bibliography, list of common and scientific names, and an index New
to this edition: More than 100 new illustrations, many never before
published, as well as new maps and photos Major expansion of
sections on geology, old-growth forests, marine mammals, and
amphibians Fifty-two new sidebars—written in the first person to
give the text a more personal touch—that describe recent
findings or experiences. Sweeping updates and elaborations to
chapter narratives—often thanks to technology unknown in 1992.
In-depth guide to Southeast Alaska’s flora and fauna; more than
an identification manual, Nature explores how the species and
habitats encountered in the woods and waters of Southeast Alaska
fit into the bigger picture.
