Familiar species, common plants, and natural phenomena are introduced in these beautifully illustrated guides to nature and the outdoors. Printed on the same heavy-duty waterproof stock as the titles in the popular Duraguide™ series, these Waterproof Pocket Guides are highly durable for use in the field. Each title provides a portable reference to a variety of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, butterflies, and insects and beginning nature enthusiasts as well as seasoned explorers will relish the abundance of detailed information packed within. Highlighting the history, symbolism, and folklore surrounding the most common floral gifts, this pocket-sized guide translates the silent language of flowers. With a focus on the history of flowers as used by Victorian women to communicate with the outside world, this guide provides the information needed to convey appropriate sentimental and moral meaning with blossoms.
