 | Flowers of the Appalachian Trail by Joe Cook, Leonard M. Adkins, Monica Cook
Flowers of the Appalachian Trail is a must-buy for all visitors to the Appalachian Trail -- whether they be casual walkers, day hikers, weekenders, or long-distance trekkers. Help your AT enthusiasts discover an often overlooked but exquisite element of the AT -- its magnificent flowers. Leonard M. Adkins, author of The Appalachia, Trail: A Visitor`s Companion and many other outdoor guidebooks, urges readers to notice these smaller gems that help make up the awe-inspiring whole of the AT. For ease of use, Adkins divides the flowers into five groups according to color; within those groups, the species are ordered according to flowering time. Readers will enjoy learning interesting tidbits about the flowers -- how they reproduce or survive, reputed medicinal uses, folklore of how a flower received its name, and much more. And, Adkins also reveals where hikers are most likely to find a certain flower along the trail. Photographers Joe and Monica Cook spent two full hiking seasons on the trail in order to capture particular plants in bloom. With more than 100 photographs and detailed descriptions and background information on 94 species of flowers, this book is an exquisite work of visual art as well as a comprehensive reference tool. It is as appropriate for display on a coffee table as it is for use in the field. AUTHOR: Joe Cook, Leonard M. Adkins, Monica Cook
