The Flora and Fauna of the Pacific Northwest Coast is an extensive,
easy-to-follow resource guide to the plant and animal life of the vast
and diverse bioregion stretching from Juneau, Alaska, south to coastal
British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and down to California's San
Francisco Bay. Encompassing over eight hundred native and invasive
species, and including more than two thousand color photos, this is the
most complete book of its kind on the market. The book is divided into
flora and fauna, with detailed subsections for flowering plants,
berries, ferns, shrubs and bushes, trees, fungi, birds, mammals,
amphibians, reptiles, and insects. Each species (identified by common
and scientific name) is illustrated by a close-up photograph and a
concise description of its appearance, biology, and habitat, as well as
its traditional use and medicinal properties (where applicable). The
book also contains detailed maps, a glossary, and a complete index of
species.
