Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

The Deventers were extraordinarily avid amateur botanists who, beginning in the 1930s, collected plants in the North Coast region of California, thousands of which they described, preserved, and illustrated in precise, lovely paintings. This oversize volume (9.25x12.25"), a tribute to their efforts, features 128 full-page botanical paintings with descriptions. Nature writer Wallace provides an extensive biographical essay. The book was brought to light as a result of the collaborative efforts and initiative of editors Bennett and Calla--long-time residents of the region who hold a passionate interest in the preservation of its natural and cultural resources.
