How to Know the Ferns
S. Leonard Bastin
Every fern hides a two-part life, one generation invisible to the careless eye. S. Leonard Bastin explains the fern's life history and introduces the common British species, from bracken to the male fern and the graceful lady fern. Clear, friendly instruction for the beginning fern-hunter. For the reader who wants to understand as well as identify these ancient plants. Discover the ferns' secret lives.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
