Synopsis
The magnificent and much-loved Sierra Nevada, called the "Range of Light" by John Muir, is the dominant feature on the California landscape. First published forty years ago, this handbook has become an enduring natural history classic, used by thousands to learn more about virtually every aspect of this spectacular mountain range--from its superb flora and fauna to its rugged topography. Comprehensive yet concise and portable, the book describes hundreds of species: trees and shrubs, flowering plants and ferns, fungi and lichens, insects and fish, amphibians and reptiles, and birds and mammals. Now completely updated and revised, it will continue to be the essential guide to the Sierra Nevada for a new generation of hikers, campers, tourists, naturalists, students, and teachers--everyone who wants to know more about this unique and beautiful mountain range. * Describes more than 750 of the species most likely to be encountered with more than 500 new color photographs and 218 detailed black-and-white drawings * Includes engaging and accessible introductory sections on Sierra Nevada topography, climate, geological history, and human history * The compact, updated species accounts make identification easy, provide informative remarks on ecology and life history, and note which species are threatened or endangered

- 2***r (26)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe item that I ordered was shipped promptly and what I received was exactly as described and detailed by the seller. The packaging used for shipping the item purchased was robust and more than adequately protected the item shipped. Overall the experience with this seller was excellent.
- s***8 (127)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis book was packaged very well! Definitely arrived with no damage from shipping and in the same shape as described in the listing. There was a leftover portion of a sticker on the back, but for an anthology book, I'm not bothered by this. The book is in really great condition. Shipping was fast, and the price was good for such a book! Thank you so much!
- a***1 (416)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook in almost perfect condition, better than described. Delivered swiftly, at reasonable cost, and very well packaged. It's a magazine that I omitted to buy 46 years ago, because at the time I was 8 years old and the book wasn't available in Britain. What an amazing service we can get these days.
