Summary: Excellent technical field manual for novice and professional
Review: I spent the summer 1998 field season working in the Glacier National Park, Montana area on the Greater Glacier Bear DNA Project. Pursuant to our study we were required to analyze Grizzly bear habitat and plant species identification played a key role in the succes of our field work. This book was an invaluable field companion. It functioned as both a key, and reference manual. There was not one species encountered in the field that was not contained in this book. Not only does it contain good photos to aid in identification, but description and background material give both novice and professional assurance of correct identification. This book cover trees, shrubs, perrenials, mosses, lichens, and liverworts. During 3 1/2 months of remote backcountry research, it was always in my pack.
