Reviews

My favorite field guides are actually works of natural history, published by the University of California Press. As if to compensate for their bulk and weight, the titles in the California Natural History Guides offer an abundance of illuminating information about what can be glimpsed from the paths and trails of our state parks. [Natural History of the Islands of California] is a kind of homage to its original authors-and, thanks to its sweep and grandeur, its detail and practicality, a magnificent one. -- Los Angeles Times
