Reviews
This is a beautifully produced book full of magnificent pictures of mountain flowers against magnificent mountain backgrounds., Anyone wishing to know what some of the most unusual, even bizarre, plant adaptations to extreme environmental stress look like will be fascinated by this book. . . . Highly recommended., You can be sure that any guest will be delighted to be left alone for a while with this book. He or she will not want to put it down., The book contains . . . 108 images of plants both familiar and unusual with brief but informative notes on each one. Among my favourites are Meconopsis sherriffi growing with Rhododendron anthopogon and Rhodiola crenulata; Thermopsis barbata in Northern Bhutan; Primula wollastonii clinging to a vertical rock face and Notholirion macrophyllum with its violet flowers almost glowing. I could go on but you would simply end up with a list of the entire contents., Made up of full-page color plates of about a hundred different flowers and plants photographed in their breathtaking native habitat., Gardeners who may only dream of growing or visiting such alpine treasures of the Himalayas should have this book on their coffee table for encouragement. . . . We could only hope for another edition from this author with even more fine beatuies to admire., This spiritual and physical journey has yielded truly exquisite images taken from the eyeview of the plant's pollinators., The stunning, large format photographs give us a rare opportunity to view these tiny plants in bloom. . . . Both scientists and home gardeners will be pleased with this edition., This extraordinary book contains 108 superb photographs. . . A magnificent work that will delight plant lovers and armchair travellers alike., An uncommon melding of science, art, and horticulture is unveiled in the book's series of exquisite images. Brief, yet utterly fascinating, Yoshida's narratives complement the portraits by providing field notes that virtually transport readers to the lofty climes., An incredibly interesting book . . . Yoshida did a fantastic job with all 108 full color photographs that are in the book., This delightful book is an unashamed celebration of plant photographs . . . Those who consider photography not to be an art form would be well-advised to thumb through the pages of this stimulating and beautiful book., The photographs are indeed stunning -- both flowers and mountains -- usually with a perspective from a pollinator's view., Glorious, world-class, almost full page photographs show these plants from the pollinator's perspective., A beautifully presented compilation of natural photography . . . An enthusiastically recommended addition to any personal, professional, or community library.
