A Field Guide to the Pine Barrens of New Jersey: Its Flora, Fauna, Ecology and Historic Sites

With his 420-page volume, author Howard Boyd presents readers with the ultimate handbook to the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Boyd begins his book by explaining and defining what makes this sandy-soiled, wooded habitat so diverse and unusual. Each entry gives a detailed, non-technical description of a Pine Barrens plant or animal (for over 700 species), indicating when and where it is most likely to appear. Complementing most listings is an original ink drawing that will greatly aid the reader in the field as they search for and try to identify specific flora and fauna.
