The magnificent full~color photographs have been chosen especialy for this book from the National Audubon Society Collection, and all of the wildflowers featured here are native to the North American continent. These superb nature photographs are combined with an informative and interesting text to make a perfect introduction to the beautiful world of North American Wildflowers. And wildflowers are not just pretty things to look at; in addition to their various uses as described in this book, their greatest value to us is in what they can teach us about the ways our environment works. Besides having an impact on trees, birds, insects, and mammals~ which may rely on them for shelter, nesting habitat, food, or nutrients ~ they are extremely interesting to watch, especially in the ways in which they cope with the conditions around them. In this book you will visit the North American regions in which the native wildflowers grow. It is divided into chapters on "Desert Wildflowers;" "Field Wildflowers" "Wetland Wildflowers;" "Woodland Wildflowers," "Alpine Wildflowers" and "Roadside Wildflowers:" There is also a listing of state flowers, suggested reading, an index, and each wildflower is clearly identified by its common and scientific name. Few of us are able to surround ourselves daily with wildflowers; North American Wildflowers is for those of us who wish we could, for those of us who would like to learn more about these native wildflowers, and for those who will read, enjoy, and treasure it.…
