4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction for serious students of botany, Oct 27 1999
By A Customer
This book is not light reading. It is, however, the best book currently available for a complete introduction to the biology of lichens. Topics range from morphology and physiology to ecology. It would benefit from diagrams to accompany the many photographs.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Technical--Not a book for the amateur!, Jul 13 1998
By A Customer
Good B&W photos, more info on lichens than you'll find anywhere but nearly impossible to read and understand if you are not a bontanist.
