Item description from seller

Paperback, xx + 348 pages, illustrated throughout with colour photos, NOT ex-library. Gentle wear, is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. -- This guide is a definitive record of the biodiversity found in the mountain landscapes of eastern North America, specifically covering Québec, Labrador, Newfoundland, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. It features contributions from 20 scientists, explorers, and land managers from both the US and Canada. Chapters detail the geology, climate, flora, and fauna of the eastern alpine ecosystem; they profile 12 major alpine ranges across the region. The book is noted for its high visual quality, containing over 800 photographs and 20 maps. It is structured to provide a comprehensive account of the eastern alpine eco-region, which is far more extensive than often recognised. New England Peaks: It includes detailed profiles of iconic ranges such as Mount Washington and the Presidential Range in New Hampshire, and Katahdin in Maine. Canadian Massifs: Significant coverage is given to the Monts Chic-Chocs and Monts McGerrigle in Québec, as well as the Gros Morne and Long Range Mountains in Newfoundland. Adirondack Tundra: In New York, the guide documents alpine ecosystems that, while rare, are essential to the region's biodiversity. Northern Reaches: It extends to remote areas such as the Monts Groulx (Uapishka) and Monts Otish in the interior and coastal regions of Labrador and Québec. The work is highly regarded by naturalists for its rigorous natural history and its closing "conservation vision," which advocates for the protection of these fragile habitats against threats like erosion and industrial development.
