5.0 out of 5 stars A whole ecosystem in one book, June 21, 2000

This review is from: A Sierra Club Naturalist's Guide to the North Woods of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota (Sierra Club Naturalist's Guides) (Paperback)

When I launched into my MS field work in northeastern Minnesota, I was completely unfamiliar with the Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence transitional forest ecosystem, and therefore not a little unprepared! Fortunate indeed that I stumbled onto this little treasure.

Like all Sierra Club Naturalist's Guides, "The North Woods" starts with geology and soils, then ventures into plants, animals, and ecosystem structure. Simple photographs and line drawings are provided for some of the most common and especially important plant and animal species. If you're looking for a conventional field guide, however, this ain't it. Instead, "The North Woods" is a guide to communities and ecosystems. An excellent investment, and next to Heinselmann's "Boundary Waters" one of my favorites. -William Adair, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Utah State University

This was a gift for my husband. The book arrived in plenty of time and in very good condition. There was some highlighting done, but in a text book that is to be expected and did not bother him. He is enjoying this gift. Thank you.
