Description

Lichenpedia A Brief Compendium by Kay Hurley is an illustrated mini-encyclopedia that explores the fascinating world of lichens. This beautifully illustrated A-Z treasury covers topics such as lichen biology, environmental roles, emerging uses, scientific history, and myth, introducing key aspects of these unique organisms. With 100 brief entries written in a vivid style, Hurley delves into the surprising ways that birds and beasts use lichens, how they survive in extreme environments, and the innovators who have advanced our knowledge of them. From their essential roles in nature to their uses in dyeing, brewing, and drug-making, lichens are revealed in all their complexity. Charming drawings by Susan Adele Edwards accompany Hurley's engaging text, making this book a great way to discover the natural world in a new light.
