Customer Reviews

A good balance

A very well written and colorful book with detailed yet easily understandable diagrams and figures. The text is written for those with little background in ecology yet is detailed enough not to be vague for those familiar with the science and with Minnesota. It was required reading in some ecology classes at the Univ. of Minnesota, yet is sits well as a coffee table book.

The text is balanced for those who know little of ecology yet provides enough detail to not be vague for those familiar with the science and with Minnesota. A darn good book for those wanting to know about the natural history of Minnesota. Big pictures.
