This book will be a very welcome addition to botanical literature on the Transcaucasus, because there is no English language book of this type so far available for the area covered. Geographically the book covers Armenia, Azerbaidjan, East Turkey, Georgia, and North Iran. -Descriptions, habitats, distribution (local and global), etc., plus an impressing colour - iconography of some 620 colour - photographs. 623 species have been dealt with. A good companion on excursions.
