HADDOCK MICHAEL JOHN
Wildflowers And Grasses Of Kansas: A Field Guide
University Press of Kansas Lawrence: . Softcover. Brand new book. How do you know when you're face to face with a fringe-leaf ruellia Is that particular flower button gayfeather or dotted gayfeather And what about the pod clinging to your pants�could it have come from a pointed-leaf tick-trefoil For anyone venturing out into the wilds of Kansas and contiguous states identifying plants just got a whole lot easier. This is the first book on Kansas wildflowers or weeds to appear in 25 years. It supersedes earlier guides not only in the number of species it includes�plus its coverage of grasses�but also in its spectacular true-to-life color photos. Michael Haddock has assembled a guide to 264 wildflowers along with 59 grasses sedges and rushes. These comprise many of the state's most common and conspicuous species�as well as some seldom encountered or listed in field guides�and include many that are found throughout the Great Plains. Wildflowers are arranged first by dominant color groups for quick identification then by family within each color category so that the user can compare a species with similarly colored flowers. Each entry for flower or grass includes a complete profile for any given plant: scientific name family common names flowering period height distribution and habitat life span basic morphological characteristics and notes on historical food and medicinal uses where applicable. The book also features "finding aids" that allow one to narrow a specimen to a smaller number of possible matches�sometimes more quickly than by comparing it to the photos. These lists were created with the non-specialist in mind and are based on basic vegetative and floral features that are usually easy to determine. Perfect for backpack or glove compartment Wildflowers and Grasses of Kansas offers a wealth of quick-access information graced with color that leaps off the page making plant identification a joy rather than a chore. It's a book guaranteed to send even chronic homebodies out into the Great Outdoors in search of these elusive blooms. University Press of Kansas, Lawrence: paperback

Hagelund, William A.
Whalers No More - A History of Whaling on the West Coast
211 pages. Bibliography. Index. "Over 30,000 whales were killed in the Pacific Northwest between 1905 and 1972, and the business of capturing and processing them created its own mythology. Here are tales of the monsters that almost got away, of whales that rammed the ships trying to capture them, and of the whalers themselves, who lived always on the edge of danger, risking life and limb in the pursuit of the biggest animals in the world... A very personal history of whaling on the west coast." - from dust jacket. Profusely illustrated in black and white. Clean, bright and unmarked with lightest wear. Dust jacket in archival-grade Brodart cover. Beautiful copy. Gift quality. Book
