“The beautiful pictures of every species, the comprehensive coverage, and well-written text, which is technically sound yet accessible to anyone, make this book an important contribution to the bookshelf of the weekend naturalist and professional lichenologist.”
—Troy McMullin, Canadian Museum of Nature
"Throughout the work, excellent photographs and keys assist readers. The book will be a useful addition for amateurs or professionals who seek help in identifying a relatively cryptic group of lichens; this information is applicable to the White Rocks region but can be useful when identifying lichen in other parts of North America."
—CHOICE
"Attractive and nicely put together. . . . an authoritative and valuable resource."
—The Mycophile
"With Erin Tripp’s book, we not only have a carefully executed inventory of the lichens, a neglected but important segment of the biodiversity, but we also have an accessible field guide to carry in the Preserve to help us recognize them. . . . It will serve its purpose well."
—The Bryologist
"This guide not only promotes interest in these fascinating organisms, but also provides detailed macroscopic, microscopic and lichen chemistry information for their identification. . . . a helpful and attractive introduction to lichens."
