Sonoran Desert Plants. An Ecological Atlas. 1995. illus. (b/w photogr. & dot maps). XVII, 504 p. 4to. Hardcover.

The Sonoran Desert, a fragile ecosystem, is under ever-increasing pressure from a burgeoning human population. This ecological atlas of the region's plants, a greatly enlarged and fully revised version of the original 1972 atlas, will be an invaluable resource for plant ecologists, botanists,
geographers, and other scientists, and for all with a serious interest in living with and protecting a unique natural southwestern heritage.

An encyclopedia as well as an atlas, this comprehensive work describes the taxonomy, geographic distribution, and ecology of 339 plants, most of them common and characteristic trees, shrubs, or succulents. Also included is valuable information on natural history and ethnobotanical, commercial, and horticultural uses of these plants. The entry for each species includes a range map, an elevational profile, and a narrative account.

The authorsalso include an extensive bibliography, referring the reader to the latest research and numerous references of historical importance, with a glossary to aid the general reader.

Good second hand copy.
