“Unlike the standard nature guides that explain how to recognize common animals, Nature stresses the web of interrelationships that link the regional flora and fauna. This affectionate examination of some of North America’s most spectacular surviving old-growth forests will delight backpackers and armchair naturalists.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review
Everything you ever wanted to know about the flora and fauna of Southeast Alaska is contained in the third edition of this lively field guide to the natural world, from bears to banana slugs, mountains to murrelets. The authors, who are both Alaskan residents and biologists, combine scientific research with personal experiences to make a definitive field guide for residents of or visitors to Southeast Alaska. The unique features of the book include:
In-depth information about how wildlife coexists with the environment
Detailed discussions of mammals, birds, fish, invertebrates, fungi, and plants
Detailed map of wilderness areas in Southeast Alaska
More than 200 black-and-white illustrations
A bibliography, list of common and scientific names, and an index
New to this edition:
More than 100 new illustrations, many never before published, as well as new maps and photos
Major expansion of sections on geology, old-growth forests, marine mammals, and amphibians
Fifty-two new sidebars—written in the first person to give the text a more personal touch—that describe recent findings or experiences.
Sweeping updates and elaborations to chapter narratives—often thanks to technology unknown in 1992.
In-depth guide to Southeast Alaska’s flora and fauna; more than an identification manual, Nature explores how the species and habitats encountered in the woods and waters of Southeast Alaska fit into the bigger picture.
O'Clair taught biology on the faculty of the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau, Alaska, for fifteen years, leaving in 1993 to devote full time to writing. She has a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Washington in Seattle.
