"The field guide is comprehensive and full of stunning colour photographs. A range map is included for each species, along with information on vernacular names, description, habitat, distinctive features, distribution and more. Also included in the book is ""Identification Keys to Ontario's Macrolichen Genera"", an ""Illustrated Glossary"" and eight lined pages for notes. I am going to enjoy looking through this exceptional field guide.--Glenn Perret ""Toronto.com"" (4/21/2024 12:00:00 AM) You will never again overlook the intricate structures of lichens on your garden's rocks and trees once you have delved into Lichens: The Macrolichens of Ontario and the Great Lakes Region of the United States . . . This is the ultimate key to the complex world of our local lichens, which are complex living combinations of fungi and algae (or cyanobacteria) . . . The bulk of the book is made up with individual descriptions of lichens, together with colourful maps and images to make identification easier . . . And, as a refreshing change in a technologically oriented world, several pages at the back are simply blank lined sheets for the reader to make notes of our own on our personal finds. Highly recommended!--Kat Kinch ""Northumberland Master Gardners"" (2/27/2024 12:00:00 AM)"
