Customer Review:
This is a beautifully written book. I had already long been fascinated by plants, and was living out in the woods, learning about edible/medicinal plants of southern Appalachia, for over six months before stumbling upon this book after hitchhiking into a nearby to use the local library's computers... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 3. |  | Moss Gardening: Including Lichens, Liverworts and Other Miniatures
from Timber Press, Incorporated
Price: $23.07
Customer Review:
This is a wonderfully informative book. It is the kind of book that has material both for the person who knows nothing about moss gardening and the person who is a veteran moss enthusiast. If we were more into moss and less into lawns the environment would be more healthy. We wouldn't have to pump... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Cambridge University Press
Price: $64.99
Customer Review:
I agree with the other two reviewers: if you have no experience with the life sciences it would be best to begin with a book like W. Pervis's Lichens. However, Nash's Lichen Biology is an outstanding text for more detailed and advanced questions on the interworkings of these unique... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Wm. C. Brown Company Publishers
Price: $55.31
Customer Review:
I bought this book to identify mosses found in Maine when on vacation from Europe. I had a magnifying glass at my disposal (10x, 20x) but found that the keys started asking questions about microscopic details very early on. This made it (too) difficult to get at least to the right family. Liverworts... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Another book I purchased as my professor wouldn't let this book leave the laboratory. Any book with Bruce McCune listed as author is an investment. This quality book is great for the field; not heavy and just the right size for a backpack. The photographs are very representative of in-field... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
