5.0 out of 5 stars A valuable resource, July 6, 2001

This review is from: Wildflowers of Arkansas (Spiral-bound)

This is a valuable resource for the naturalist as well as the wildflower enthusiast which describes 600 wildflowers found in Arkansas. Color photographs are provided for 484 flowers. Plants are arranged by family; this may seem awkward at first, but the book is well indexed. A glossary, state map showing regions, and diagrams of plant parts are other helpful tools provided in the book. This book is a must for me while hiking or driving the highways and backroads of my state. The only way Hunter could have improved this resource, is by providing a color guide for quicker idntification.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful addition to any natural history library!, June 16, 2000

By 

Christopher Perks (Fayetteville, AR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wildflowers of Arkansas (Hardcover)

I imagine Mr. Hunter worked long and hard on this project. I recommend this guide without reservation-- great pictures, text, and layout by evolutionary relationship. Compared to the Peterson Guide covering this region, this is far superior for its geographic specificity. Whether your interest lies in other areas, such as birding or butterflying, or general natural history appreciation, this guide will improve your knowledge of Arkansas wildflowers and their associated fauna ten-fold. The best wildflower guide for the region, period.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Wildflower Book Ever, May 9, 2002

By 

Penny Burgett - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wildflowers of Arkansas (Spiral-bound)

This is the best book for identifying wildflowers that I have ever used. It works!! The blossom pictures are clear and make matching my finds to the pictures certain. My old copy was damaged. Since I was getting a new edition, I took the old copy to work. My coworkers liked it as much as I do. Several are buying their own copies for home use. This book is terrific!
