Field Guide to the Piedmont: The Natural Habitats of America's Most Lived-In Region, from New York C

Michael Godfrey's Field Guide to the Piedmont - originally published by Sierra Club Books and here newly revised and updated - is an informative and entertaining guide to the entire region's habitats, ecosystems, and rich botanical communities. Focusing on plant succession, geology, soils, climate, and the plants and animals with which we share the land, Field Guide to the Piedmont also features 180 illustrations for easy identification of the Piedmont's principal flora and fauna. A chapter describing and providing directions to over fifty sites of special interest will inspire Piedmont residents to take this field guide in hand and explore their natural surroundings.
