"An impressive compendium of the state's landforms, habitats, species, and conservation issues."--Sierra "One suspects that Allan Schoenherr's book will be regarded as the publishing equivalent of the Sierra Nevada mountains--unique, conspicuous, a major landmark."--Santa Cruz Sentinel "Allan Schoenherr's accomplishment takes us back to heroic times when individuals dared to write multivolume encyclopedias alone, discovered the 'laws' of plant and animal distribution for an entire continent, or compiled keys, drawings, and descriptions for more than 5000 species in an area as large and complex as California. This is a good picture of California as it exists now, balanced between what it was and, with restoration, what it could."--Environmental History
