E & M plants of the west
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
As a first time buyer of a book such as this, I will have to say I am not an expert on this topic. I have done a lot of research though before I bought this book. When I received the book it was better then I expected. The pictures are real photos and thats a BIG help. The information is to the point and without a bunch of "filler" or meaningless rambling. One thing I liked is that it also gives the growing season of all the plants. It also gives several look alike plants to avoid and that are poisonous.
The best I've seen yet

Full color photographs of every plant in the book, along with very complete, if brief, descriptions of characteristics and properties. The book itself is compact and easy to carry with you into the field, which is the ONLY place to truly study the subject matter. Enjoy this gem!
A Very Useful Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I bought this book as a Christmas present for my dad, and he hasn't put it down since he got it. The detailed descriptions of habitat, appearance, and usefulness of each plant are supplemented by great color pictures, as well as instructions for avoiding dangerous look-alikes. I would highly recommend this book for hikers, backpackers, woodsmen, and anyone else that spends a lot of time outdoors.
This book has great pictures and is very informative.

The pictures are great for identifying plants. It gives a good decription for the habitat that the plants live in and also has warnings of look a like plants. This book is a great addition for anyone interested in plants.
