Book Description
This fully revised edition of Wildflowers of Southwestern Utah takes an ecological approach to plant identification, introducing readers to eight wildflower communities of the Bryce Canyon and Cedar Breaks region, from deep canyons to broad plateaus. Each of the 128 entries offers keys to identification along with interesting and useful information. Did you know that: Native Americans made chewing gum from rabbitbrush? Yarrow was used to treat indigestion and toothaches?; Settlers used needles from Douglas fir as a coffee substitute?; Seeds of the Canada violet are spread when the mature seedpods violently burst?; Flowers of the bronze evening primrose bloom for one night only? Beautifully illustrated with over 150 full-color photographs and more than 125 line drawings, Wildflowers of Southwestern Utah is the definitive guide to this region, written for both the novice and experienced naturalist.
Customer Reviews:
Not very inclusive.......2006-06-10
A trip to Bryce in April yielded quite a few specimens of Townsendia along the Fairyland loop, and yet this beautiful plant isn't included in this book. The photographs and line drawings are good, though, as a help in identification. The search for better books goes on.
identifying wildflowers in Zion and Bryce.......2005-10-23
As one of several flower books I had along, this was good for the flowers fairly specific to the Zion/Bryce area, as was Wildflowers of Zion NP, by Welsh. Plants of Arizona, by Epple, was also very helpful but less keyed to that exact area.
Buchanan's book is organized by type of terrain, so I found myself just leafing through it looking at the photos for each plant. (Welsh's book is organized by flower color). Neither the Buchanan or Welsh book is an exhaustive treatment -- you would need a more general book as well.

day travel aid.......2007-05-12
I've had this book since I moved to Georgia, and I couldn't get along without it. The only reason I didn't give five stars is that it's just not new. Some things change. But this book certainly steers you right, shows possibilities, suggests some good places not to miss.

Georgia O'Keefe and the Calla Lily in American Art, 1860-1940
ASIN: 0810936852 |
Amazon.com
Georgia O'Keeffe's unconventional paintings of mountains, bones, and flowers--often on a giant scale--and her clear, simple forms and colors made her an early pioneer of a new American modernism. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in summer 1997 in Santa Fe, presenting works from all periods of the artist's long career. Providing a remarkable virtual tour through the museum, this beautiful clothbound volume with French folded jacket features essays by leading art writers such as Barbara Rose and Mark Stevens, and a new, thorough chronology by Charles Eldredge. Included in the 86 full-color images and 4 lavish gatefolds are many works that have never been reproduced before, which are complemented throughout by black-and-white photographs documenting the extraordinary life of this courageous, inventive artist (1887-1986). For O'Keeffe fans unable to travel to Santa Fe for a personal pilgrimage, this book is the next best thing.
Customer Reviews:
A wonderful book!.......1998-07-15
I really liked this. Lots of color reproductions of O'Keeffe's paintings, including several "fold-out" double pages. Covers her early mid and late periods. This is also a book about the museum devoted to her in New Mexico, The size of the book is nice too. A bit smaller than "coffee-table" huge dimension. A book you can browse through. Can be an introduction to Georgia O'Keeffe's art and life for somebody just learning about her, or can be extra fun for a real O'Keeffe fan.

A good book and great resource.......2004-09-25
Care of The Domestic Rabbit was a good book as it gave me valuable information on how to care for my bunny. My local vet had heard of Doctor Hayhow and recommended I call him when I saw this book I had to get it. Overall a good book. It is not like those cookie cutter animal books in petco.
Paula
Strictly for Breeders.......2004-08-09
If you want info on how to care for your pet rabbit, don't even bother with this book. It's strictly written for breeders, and the medical information is very, very out of date. The pictures are all straight from the American Rabbit Breeders Association poster. This books presumes that you treat rabbits like saleable commodities, rather than as living creatures.
