Seasons on the Pacific Coast: A Naturalist's Notebook

The Pacific Coast, with its hundreds of miles of unspoiled forests, cliffs, fields, and beaches from Mexico to British Columbia, attracts nature lovers from around the world. Naturalist Susan Tweit pays special homage to this diverse region in this handsome volume. Forty informative, evocative essays, each illustrated with a colour drawing, capture the Coast's vibrant plant and animal life, from sea otters and monarch butterflies to giant bladder kelp and gray whales. The author begins with field notes and then offers delightful observations and commentary.
