 Rating: - Sierra Nevada nature guideThe Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada (California Academy of Sciences) (California Academy of Sciences) (California Academy of Sciences) This is an excellent field guide packed with accurate, hand drawn colored illustrations of everything you can imagine, from mushrooms to insects to reptiles. Rating: - best book ever on Sierra NevadaThis is an incredible book on the Sierra Nevada, written and illustrated entirely by Jack Laws, a fantastic naturalist. Rating: - Fun family resourceWe purchased this field guide to take on dayhikes and camping trips in the Sierra's with our 5 yr old daughter. We have thoroughly enjoyed it! It is very easy to use. I looked at many field guides and this one is by far the easiest to use. Small children can become bored easily on a hike. The field guide has made hiking more interesting for our 5 yr old. She finds it great fun to identify new flowers,plants,birds,ect. It delays the inevitable, "Are we there yet?" ! Rating: - A perfect book for exploring The detail drawing make it easy to identify the plants and wild life. A great way to learn. Rating: - Great Sierra field guideI have at least 10 books specifically on Sierra wildflowers and several field guides. This is the best all-in-one book. It's not too heavy for me to carry on a day hike. Janice in the Sierra |
