Dust jacket ever so lightly soiled but not price clipped. Verna Johnston taught biology at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, California. A widely traveled ecologist, ornithologist, and photographer she is well known for her many articles and photographs on wildlife." [From the dust jacket] "During five summers between 1955 and 1972 Verna Johnston studied photography with Ansel Adams. He strongly influenced her black and white technique and, as she writes, 'laid the foundation for future growth.' her principal scientific concern has been the struggle of native plants and animals for survival in the face of human and foreign species encroachments. In addition to many articles on these and other topics, Johnston has published two monographs, Sierra Nevada (1970) and California Forests & Woodlands (1994). During the 1960s and 70s Verna Johnston became concerned about the plight of the Tule Elk, an endangered species indigenous to California. Johnston was an officer of the Committee for the Preservation of the Tule Elk. She both lobbied and published articles on behalf of the elk".

Johnston and Samuel H. Bryant (photographers) (illustrator). …

Hardcover, with dust jacket. 222 pages. Text in English. As new, signed on the endpaper. From majestic Redwoods to ancient Western Bristlecone Pines, California's trees have long inspired artists, poets, naturalists?and real estate developers. Verna Johnston's splendid book, illustrated with her superb color photographs and Carla Simmons's detailed black-and-white drawings, now offers an unparalleled view of the Golden State's world-renowned forests and woodlands. In clear, vivid prose, Johnston introduces each of the state's dominant forest types. She describes the unique characteristics of the trees and the interrelationships of the plants and animals living among them, and she analyzes how fire, flood, fungi, weather, soil, and humans have affected the forest ecology. The world of forest and woodland animals comes alive in these pages?the mating games, predation patterns, communal life, and the microscopic environment of invertebrates and fungi are all here. Johnston also presents a sobering view of the environmental hazards that threaten the state's trees: acid snow, ozone, blister rust, over-logging. Noting the interconnectedness of the diverse life forms within tree regions, she suggests possible answers to the problems currently plaguing these areas. Enriched by the observations of early naturalists and Johnston's many years of fieldwork, this is a book that will be welcomed by all who care about California's treasured forests and woodlands. 777g.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - All lovers of the mountains will welcome Verna Johnston's new and completely updated edition of her classic, Sierra Nevada, originally published in 1970. A professional biologist, veteran ornithologist, and well-known wildlife photographer, Johnston is the perfect guide for a natural-history trip into the Sierra. Regardless of how one explores the magnificent 400-mile-long mountain range, on foot or by car, in an armchair or a classroom, this is the book to have.Beginning with the western foothills, Johnston evokes a vivid picture of the varied plant and animal life encountered as the elevation increases, tops the crest, and drops to the more precipitous, arid eastern Sierra slope. The reader is taken through chaparral and mountain meadows, pine and fir forests, granite expanses and snowy peaks. Johnston writes of the Native Americans' uses and stewardship of the land, the role of fire in forest ecology, the eras of sheep herders and loggers, the work of John Muir and other preservationists, and the battles to save Mono Lake and Lake Tahoe. Her lifetime of field experience and discovery offers intimate observations of rarely recorded events: the courtship of the Sierra Nevada salamander, a wolverine attacking two bears, a fight to the death between a skink and a scorpion.Many changes have occurred in the Sierra since the first edition of this book was published, including acid snow, tensions involving human and cougar habitats, and an ominous drop in amphibian populations. Johnston documents these events and updates the ecological research in the rich, evocative writing style that makes her book a naturalist's treasure. This is a guide to the Sierra Nevada for the next millennium. Simmons, Carla J. (illustrator).…
