Rob Badger and Nita Winter ; foreword by Peter Raven

California wildflowers and climate change

Created by conservation photographers Rob Badger and Nita Winter, the book contains stunning images of California's diverse wildflowers and their habitats. Arranged in three sections: The Gift of Beauty, The Human Connection and Ensuring the Future; it also contains essays by 16 diverse authors and scientists about nature, conservation, climate change or taking action. The authors engage their audience by first inviting them to experience the splendor of the natural world through a universal symbol of beauty, the wildflower, and then educate and inspire them to take some of the simple actions they provide to create positive change and a healthier planet. Their goal is to spread conservation and climate change ideas far beyond native plant and nature lovers, and to plant the seeds to foster action.--Publisher
