Fall CHAPTER MEETING October 3, 2009 Saturday 2-4pm Three Rivers Arts Center (to be held after plant sale) Presentation by John Muir Laws author of The Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada In this groundbreaking and meticulously field-tested guide, the rich variety of Sierra life—trees, wildflowers, ferns, fungi, lichens, fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals, and insects—comes alive. John Muir Laws illustrated this field guide with more than 2,800 watercolor images to feature more than 1,700 species of plants and animals of the Sierra. It includes the usual subjects of a comprehensive field guide: birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, trees, shrubs, wildflowers, fungi, and insects, as well as items not usually found in such guides like animal tracks and scat, aquatic life, spiders webs, cloud formations, season star charts, weather patterns, natural history notes on behavior and species interactions, and range maps of species that are otherwise difficult to distinguish. The guide is lightweight and begs to be taken along in a backpack onto the trail! 2007 Heyday Books 368pp; 4.75 x 8.75 ISBN: 978-1-59714-052-2
