The Mosses of New Zealand
Author: K. W. Allison
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Mosses
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
The rich diversity and intrinsic interest of New Zealand mosses is amply demonstrated in this lucid introductory book by K.W. Allison and John Child. The authors give full descriptions and ecological details of the commoner and more notable species, illustrating each to show many features and provide brief notes on many other species. The introduction to the general features of mosses, identification and field recognition tests, and the simple terminology (technical terms are kept to a minimum and defined in a glossary) enable the beginner to use the book without difficulty. Both beginner and specialist will find the keys valuable. Each species is illustrated with clear and informative line drawings (there are 96 of these), and 64 superb photographs are included. The amateur and the more experienced field botanist will find the book stimulating as well as a useful reference work which will be appreciated in Australia also where the moss flora is similar.

Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
There's a whisper in the forest. Are you listening? Deep in the forest, lost and found amongst the trees, Juniper Tiernan seeks refuge from the world. Safe from the unpredictability of humanity, she finds comfort in her solitude beneath the shelter of the trees. After years of splitting her time between the real world and her earth-made sanctuary, she discovers her connection with nature has taken a strange turn. When the trees begin to speak, her logic suspects lunacy while her heart craves more. She desperately wants to believe the voices are real and recruits the ear of her friend Roscoe, an Olympic National Park ranger, who cannot hear the voices and deems her claims impossible. But as time passes the trees' grim prophecies come to fruition and Juniper's claims appear validated. Roscoe is forced to question his initial doubts and both are thrust into undesired roles of responsibility. The world as they know it is shifting and if the whispered predictions are correct, all life on Earth will be shattered. Though the trees guide her to safety, persuading others to follow is a challenge. Unsure how to proceed and ensure the survival of her loved ones, she does all she can to convince them to accompany her to the Hall of Mosses. With fierce determination and a resolute trust in nature, Juniper marches toward an uncertain fate.

ISBN: 9781877517761
Category : Mountain animals
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
New Zealand's alpine environment is challenging, not only for the humans who explore it but for the plants and animals that inhabit it. The extremes of temperature, short summers and high rates of erosion make for an uncertain environment, and the flora and fauna have evolved and adapted to it in interesting ways. Above the Treeline: A nature guide to the New Zealand mountains is a guide to the natural history of these fascinating ecosystems. It is the first book to be published that brings together the range of flora and fauna that inhabit the alpine environment. As well as our unique alpine plants, which constitute the majority of the book, this guide includes birds; frogs and lizards; butterflies, moths, grasshoppers, beetles and other invertebrates; and mosses and lichens. An informative introduction is followed by descriptions of more than 850 species, illustrated by approximately 1000 colour photographs. Written by eminent botanist and conservationist Sir Alan Mark, . . .
