This is the book that can easily go backpacking with the plant enthusiast, birder, or butterfly collector."Bruce Pavlik, Series Editor,California Natural History Guide Series and author of Oaks of California

I am thrilled to see that David Lukas has made the careful revisions necessary to update this classic book and make it even more useful and comprehensive. I plan to take it on every hike."Edward C.
