Synopsis
Lichens are a unique form of plant life, the product of a symbiotic association between an alga and a fungus. The beauty and importance of lichens have long been overlooked, despite their abundance and diversity in most parts of North America and elsewhere in the world. This stunning book--the first accessible and authoritative guidebook to lichens of the North American continent--fills the gap, presenting superb color photographs, descriptions, distribution maps, and keys for identifying the most common, conspicuous, or ecologically significant species. The book focuses on 805 foliose, fruticose, and crustose lichens (the latter rarely included in popular guidebooks) and presents information on another 700 species in the keys or notes; special attention is given to species endemic to North America. A comprehensive introduction discusses the biology, structure, uses, and ecological significance of lichens and is illustrated with 90 additional color photos and many line drawings. English names are provided for most species, and the book also includes a glossary that explains technical terms. This visually rich and informative book will open the eyes of nature lovers everywhere to the fascinating world of lichens.

    The books were described "Like New" and it is true, they are. Each book in a set of 5 was wrapped individually before placing in the shipping carton insuring the quality ascribed to them by the seller would be passed on to us, the buyer. We appreciate the fast shipping and the value of the purchase. Thank you!

    Prompt shipping, plus the book was wrapped in a plastic sleeve, and then encased in bubble wrap, and on top of that it was put inside a padded shipping envelope. I really appreciate this vendor's care in making sure the book was not damaged during shipping. Thank you.

    Best American Lichen Book

    For the serious lichen connoisseur, this book is a must-have. Its 800+ pages with hundreds of photos. Thousands of species are listed. There are chapters on lichen anatomy and physiology, and keys for identification. Included are a glossary, bibliography and index. It's a lifetime investment, well worth the price.
