This is the book that took me through too many nights, and early morning units of biology and on into my Masters Studies. A quick reference book that has most of your common everythings on it -- it gets you into a ballpark and usually that is close enough for almost everyone. Plants, birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, insects --- it is all here in one place and the big bonus is that it weighs about 300 pounds less than a set of professional reference books. If I could take only one book with me camping or hiking in the Sierra, this would be the one. And don't forget your 5x and 10x Loupes.

Bought this book for some friends, and they've gotten quite a bit of use out of it for identifying trees and wildlife in the numerous parks in the Sierra Nevada near where they live. Sounds like a winner to me.

This item from Dexter 363 was here in 2 days from date of order and being used we could hardly tell - it was in excellent shape.

Great overview of the flora and fauna of the Sierra Nevada. Lots of color photos and good quality line drawings. I wish it were possible to fit all the great info into a small feather weight book but I guess that would be impossible. Nice to have a comprehensive guide all in one cover.

This book came in perfect condition just as it said. It has beautiful illustrations and great information for exploring in the Sierra Nevada. Thank you so much. I am very pleased with my purchase

This book provides a broad overview of the major flora and fauna you will find in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Not only does it do a fantastic job of describing weather patterns and climatic conditions throughout the mountain range, it also gives the reader a detailed look at the various plants and animals that reside in the Sierras. There are anatomically accurate, scientifically correct descriptions of most of the plant and animal life one would encounter in the range, along with excellent descriptions of their placement within the Sierra ecosystem.

A must for anyone who enjoys backcountry hiking or skiing, and a great addition to any biology student's personal library.

This book arrived in good timing and in very good condition. Price was awesome and great for my college course

Just what I was looking for, All the plants and wild life in the Sierras.
