Neither plant nor fungus alone, the lichen is a partnership, and Annie Lorrain Smith made it her life's study. She traces the history of lichenology from its earliest students, then leads the reader into the structure and life of these patient colonizers of rock and bark. The standard British work on the subject. Learn to read the crust on the stone.

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.
