Seaweeds, of Cape Cod and the Islands
(This copiously illustrated reference to the identificatio...)
This copiously illustrated reference to the identification of the seaweeds of Cape Cod, Marthas Vinyard, and Nantucket is generally representative of the northeast American coast. Descriptions are accompanied by essays on the reproduction, classification, economics, and ecology of non-tropical marine algae. Individual algae are illustrated, as they appear in nature, in over 100 full-page black and white drawings by the noted Cape Cod artists Marcia and Edward Norman. The authors have revised the text of the first edition extensively and brought it fully up to date with the latest scientific discoveries. This easy-to-carry paperback edition is suitable for use at the seashore.

200 conspicuous, unusual, or economically important tropical plants of the Caribbean
(Written for the general public, this is a practical guide...)
Written for the general public, this is a practical guide to the most-noticed trees, shrubs, vines, and flowers of the American tropics --an immense amount of useful and interesting information in an easy-to-carry form. The 748 photographic illustrations show the general appearance of each species, with close-ups of identifying characteristics and other interesting features where helpful. Because tropical ornamental and economic plants have accompanied human populations around the globe, this book is eminently useful in the tropics world-wide.
