Lawrence, one of our most astute and beloved naturalist writers, tells the fascinating story of this country's vast landscape, rich plant life, and incredible range of wild creatures. This magnificently illustrated volume offers a masterful blend of personal narrative and meticulous scientific detail.
Lavishly illustrated with attractive and informative photographs, artwork, and line drawings, The Natural History of Canada is an invaluable guide to our natural heritage. Beginning with the effects of the ice age and moving through boreal forests, prairie flatlands, mountain wilderness, and oceanic environments, Lawrence captures this incredible variety of landscapes and wildlife across the country. Special interest sections describe unusual plants and animals and their unique contribution to our natural environment. Numerous diagrams, charts, and maps provide useful visual summaries of important details.
Entertaining as well as informative, The Natural History of Canada is for general readers, conservationists, students, and all those who need a comprehensive guide to the beauty and diversity of our natural world.
