Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I use this book as my only field guide even though I'm out studying and teaching others about the tall grass prairie near Houston. I find the explanations, photos, and general tabs extremely helpful. Because I live outside of the Hill Country, I only wish that the author would do a book about the almost extinct Gulf Coast prairies.
