`Far more than a mere compilation of vegetation types, this book synthesizes our current history of the understanding of the history, dynamics, and physical setting of the continent's plant cover...a text and a reference for field scientists at all levels...it is unsurpassed as a guide to the vegetation blanketing North America, and to the processes structuring that vegetation.' - Ecology
