Book Description
Whether its skunk cabbage blooming in the late winter chill, columbine and phlox bursting with color in the summer heat, or witch hazel blossoms patiently waiting for the cool of late fall, the flowers of the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky mountains put on a spectacular show for all but the coldest months of the year. Whether on a dayhike in Great Smoky Mountains National Park or winding through 469 miles of mountain beauty along the Blue Ridge Parkway, appreciating the wildflowers along the way, using Wildflowers of the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains as your guide, adds a level of enjoyment that has no price.

A beautiful book.......2005-06-06
There is no doubt this is the most beautiful wildlfower book I have ever seen. Each of the 120 photos are full page, full color, and absolutely stunning in their clarity, composition and ability to help you identify a flower. The text is also very informative--and nicely written. Instead of technical jargon, the author gives you all kinds of information in easy to understand and often entertaining language. I'll cherish this book for a long time and use it often as he also tells you specific sites to find each flower. Again, A BEAUTIFUL BOOK.

Fast & Easy-to-use Guide Organized by Bloom-Time.......2000-05-22
The focus of this excellent wildflower guide to flowers found in the Smokies is to tell WHERE and WHEN to find them in bloom. The book relies upon color plates for ID and is limited enough (only 144 pages) to allow a quick scan of all the photos when searching to ID that elusive flower. Although not nearly so complete as THE AUDUBON GUIDE TO EASTERN WILDFLOWERS (my overall favorite), this book has become my LOCAL favorite for use during outings in the Smokies.
Wildflower enthusiasts of all types should have this book in their pocket when hiking in the Smokies. It will save you time because it focuses only on about 225 flowers found in the Smokies. If you've located in the book one or two types of flowers in bloom in the area where you are hiking then you'll be within 5 or 6 pages of the correct location for all the other flowers in bloom at that particular time!
Other nice features of the book include the ring binding which allows it to open easily, the manner in which all color plates are on the right side so as to allow thumbing thru in search of the correct plate and the excellent close-up color photos of the flowers.
My primary complaint is that the book doesn't offer photos of MORE species of flowers--hey there are over 1,500 species in the Smokies--but this book is rarely a disppointment for me, an avid wildflower enthusiast who spends at least one or two days/week hiking in the Smokies during warm weather months.

The groupings by families follows the system used in Wild Flowers of the United States.

Description:
Cutleaf coneflower (Rudbeckia laciniata L.), crown-beard (Verbesina occidentalis Walt.), and tall milkweed (Asclepias exaltata L.) are wildflower species native to Great Smoky Mountains National Park (U.S.A.). Natural populations of each species were analyzed for leaf ascorbic acid (AA) and dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) to assess the role of ascorbate in protecting the plants from ozone stress. Tall milkweed contained greater quantities of AA (7-10@mmolg^-^1 fresh weight) than crown-beard (2-4@mmolg^-^1 fresh weight) or cutleaf coneflower (0.5-2@mmolg^-^1 fresh weight). DHA was elevated in crown-beard and cutleaf coneflower relative to tall milkweed suggesting a diminished capacity for converting DHA into AA. Tall milkweed accumulated AA in the leaf apoplast (30-100nmolg^-^1 fresh weight) with individuals expressing ozone foliar injury symptoms late in the season having less apoplast AA. In contrast, AA was not present in the leaf apoplast of either crown-beard or cutleaf coneflower. Unidentified antioxidant compounds were present in the leaf apoplast of all three species. Overall, distinct differences in antioxidant metabolism were found in the wildflower species that corresponded with differences in ozone sensitivity.

Unlike other books, this guide features complete, mutt-specific information on routine health care (including the latest on vaccinations and holistic therapies), breed influences in the mutt mix, common problems in older dogs, behavior issues, beyond-the-basics obedience training, and fun sports and competitive events.

Customer Reviews:
Best Books come from Margaret Bonham ! .......2006-09-08
I read this book and The Complete Idiots Guide to Designer Dogs and found both to be interesting and well written.
I can say for sure ,no one is an idiot that orders books from this Author . Books inform as well as giving insight to some of the most popular pets in the USA ..the Crossbreeds !
Comprehensive information.......2004-07-31
Above and beyond the adorable subjects, there is a lot of good, comprehensive A to Z information in here that is basic to all dogs. Bonham has a great section on mutt health, a good one on nutrition for "The Most Popular Dog in America," and a good one on how to select either a puppy or adult rescue. She covers what you might be able to reasonably expect physically in what type of mix, what group activities are available to them, what to look for in a good trainer and what training equipment you should expect go get, road trips, how to choose a vet, introducing them to the cat, and Bonham offers terrific advice on how to select a dog that's right for you.
Best book on mutts -- great for any kind of mixed breed.......2004-06-29
This author gave the best information I have ever found for learning about mutts. I liked learning why mutts grow the way they do. Her chapter on determining what's in your mutt was fantastic. Obviously the author knows a lot about training because all her advice has really worked for me. Highly recommended for anybody who likes mixed breeds, like me.
Little Information About Mutts.......2004-06-28
I was looking for a book that would give detailed information about judging a mutt's pet potential. Only 31 pages in the book discuss how to judge what personality traits the dog may have based on it's appearance. I also wanted information on how to judge how big that puppy will get and this book didn't cover that. Probably because that's a tough job, which is why I was looking for help. This book provided little useful information on choosing your mutt. It left me thinking that maybe we'll have to go with a purebreed after all.
On a positive note, if you don't know how to take care of a dog, this book is full of information on basic dog care.
A Gem.......2004-03-20
What a gem is Margaret Bonham's The Complete Guide to Mutts. Not only does she cover types of mutts, training, food, health and everything else a prospective dog owner needs to know, but I love that she emphasizes throughout the book that adopting a dog is a serious long-term commitment. I even bought a copy for the shelter I volunteer for as a resource guide in helping dogs and their new families live happily every after.

Customer Reviews:
Good.......2006-03-22
A fairly, good guide to Cinematography, the fourth edition has many gaps and needs technological update, perhaps the fifth edition will be excellent, specially to students.
Best source for camera specs.......2000-04-26
Because it hasn't been updated Professional Cameraman's Handbook is missing some newer equipment, but it is the best source for information for pre-1994 camera equipment. I'll buy the 5th edition as soon as it is available.
EXCELLENT ,BRILLIANT AND A REAL HELP.......1999-09-04
I have bought this book in 1995 and it was a real help for me.I live in greece and most of the times d.o.p. stands as a camera operator too.I have made lot's of films since then but there was two of them with second-hand 16 mm Eclair bought from two old filmakers.(no operators manual in it and i have never heard this machines before!).As cinematographers know, many things depend of the expirience someone have on specific equipment that is using.this cameras was one Npr and one Acl (S16patend).My assistand get scared when he saw the Acl!! I JUST GIVE HIM THE BOOK AND EVERYTHING GO PERFECT!! THE AUTHOR IS A REAL PRO AND WE GET TOO THRU HIS KNOWLEDGE.THANK YOU.
