From deserts and grasslands to
glaciers and the spectacular Pacific
coast, California is a naturalist's
paradise. The authors of the California
Natural History Guides have walked
into wildfires, plunged into sharkinfested
waters, scaled the Sierra
Nevada, peeked under rocks, and
gazed into the sky to present the most
extensive California environmental
education series in existence. Packed
with photographs and illustrations and
compact enough to take on the trail,
they are essential reading for any
California adventurer.
