The rich diversity and intrinsic interest of New Zealand mosses is amply demonstrated in this lucid introductory book by K.W. Allison and John Child. The authors give full descriptions and ecological details of the commoner and more notable species, illustrating each to show many features and provide brief notes on many other species. The introduction to the general features of mosses, identification and field recognition tests, and the simple terminology (technical terms are kept to a minimum and defined in a glossary) enable the beginner to use the book without difficulty. Both beginner and specialist will find the keys valuable. Each species is illustrated with clear and informative line drawings (there are 96 of these), and 64 superb photographs are included. The amateur and the more experienced field botanist will find the book stimulating as well as a useful reference work which will be appreciated in Australia also where the moss flora is similar.

New Zealand's alpine environment is challenging, not only for the humans who explore it but for the plants and animals that inhabit it. The extremes of temperature, short summers and high rates of erosion make for an uncertain environment, and the flora and fauna have evolved and adapted to it in interesting ways. Above the Treeline: A nature guide to the New Zealand mountains is a guide to the natural history of these fascinating ecosystems. It is the first book to be published that brings together the range of flora and fauna that inhabit the alpine environment. As well as our unique alpine plants, which constitute the majority of the book, this guide includes birds; frogs and lizards; butterflies, moths, grasshoppers, beetles and other invertebrates; and mosses and lichens. An informative introduction is followed by descriptions of more than 850 species, illustrated by approximately 1000 colour photographs. Written by eminent botanist and conservationist Sir Alan Mark, . . .

"An illustrated glossary of terms that are used to describe mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Written in informal prose, it's intended to be an everyday reference for not only bryology and botany students, but also gardeners and anybody who's interested in plants. The second edition has half again as many pages (over 330) and illustrations (nearly 1400) as the first edition did, and two-thirds of those illustrations are new. Over 530 species of bryophytes are illustrated. Also, an appendix explains how to photograph bryophytes without a camera."--NHBS Environment Bookstore.
