Atlas of Nevada Conifers: A Phytogeographic Reference

The Atlas of Nevada Conifers will be a definitive resource for botanists, land managers, and conservation biologists for decades to come. Author David Charlet's detailed maps and exhaustive records are like treasure maps to the many unexplored motherlodes of biodiversity waiting to be explored in the Great Basin [for anyone] with a strong sense of curiosity and Atlas in hand, whether professional scientist or amateur nature lover . . ."" —David Lukas, Great Basin News ""He gives 20 excellent illustrations by Bridget Keimel, 22 dot-distribution maps plotting herbarium data and reported sightings, and detailed distributional data (location, elevation, collection, herbarium acronym) from 202 mountain ranges. . . . This exceptionally valuable effort extends ranges of most of the species in the state."" —Rudolf Schmid, Taxon 46 ""Though isolated conifer stands in Nevada have been the subject of active inquiry for the past 50 years, Dr. Charlet discovered many conifer locations that had never been recorded. This atlas documents his extensive field research to accurately identify the species and locations of the state's conifer stands, precisely maps the distribution of all the species, and significantly extends the known range of almost every species of pine, fir, spruce, juniper, and cedar in the state."" —SciTech Book News, March 1997
