Plant life in the world's mediterranean climates : California, Chile, South Africa, Australia, and the Mediterranean Basin
Peter R. Dallman, Robert Ornduff (Writer of preface)
Plant Life in the World's Mediterranean Climates provides a beautifully illustrated overview of the landscapes, vegetation types, and plants of the five regions of the world that have a Mediterranean climate, the plants share remarkably similar characteristics that allow them to thrive in these unusual conditions. With its detailed information on some of the world's most resilient plant life, this book will serve as an excellent reference for anyone interested in growing drought-resistant plants and as a naturalist's guide to these beautiful and unusual bioregions. For the growing number of travelers whose vacations focus on learning about and appreciating natural history, Dallman also includes a chapter on planning trips to each of the five Mediterranean regions
