Description
An authoritative guide to the landforms, vegetation, and animal life along the major highways of British Columbia and southern Yukon.
Now updated and expanded with new sections on northern British Columbia and the entire length of the Alaska Highway in Yukon, this beloved guide to the roadside ecology of British Columbia's major highways is a tour through the unexpected joys of the road. Over thirteen chapters, each focussing on a major highway, naturalists Richard and Sydney Cannings reveal the secrets of roadside flora and fauna. Featuring full-colour photographs and black-and-white drawings of numerous plants and animals, and a map of featured highways, this guide is the ideal road trip companion.
