The Flora and Fauna of the Pacific Northwest Coast

The Flora and Fauna of the Pacific Northwest Coast is an extensive, easy-to-follow resource guide to the plant and animal life of the vast and diverse bioregion stretching from Juneau, Alaska, south to coastal British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and down to California’s San Francisco Bay. Encompassing over eight hundred native and invasive species, and including more than two thousand color photos, that is essentially the most complete book of its kind available on the market. The book is divided into natural world, with detailed subsections for flowering plants, berries, ferns, shrubs and bushes, trees, fungi, birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and insects. Every species (identified by not unusual and scientific name) is illustrated by a close-up photograph and a concise description of its appearance, biology, and habitat, in addition to its traditional use and medicinal properties (where applicable). The book also incorporates detailed maps, a word list, and a whole index of species.
