Reviews
It's big, but it is not a coffee table book, nor a field guide. Rather, it is a helpful go-to book, for countless questions about the plants and animals of Connecticut, many of them illustrated. Information on things like deer or mountain laurel are here, of course, but so are entries on hundreds of less-well-known organisms, from scarab beetles to lichens, from fungi to fishers. It ought to help answer a lot of questions., "This book is valuable for students, educators, and conservationists. It is practical not only for those of us in southern New England but for our northern neighbors as well, since there is so much overlap in plant and animal ranges. It should be on every naturalist's shelf."- Northern Woodlands, "It's big, but it is not a coffee table book, nor a field guide.

Synopsis
Connecticut Wildlife is the lavishly illustrated, exhaustive overview of the ecosystems of Connecticut, its plants and animals, and the ecological links among the state's wildlife and their habitats-from butterflies to red foxes, jellyfish to double-crested cormorants, poison ivy to phytoplankton. It carefully traces Connecticut's daily, seasonal, annual, and long-term cycles, which range from the dynamics of natural communities to patterns of reproduction and behavior in major groups of organisms. Whether looking at individual species or broad ecosystems, Geoffrey A. Hammerson's conservationist perspective shines in Connecticut Wildlife. The book will become an essential part of the libraries of every naturalist, conservationist, and educator in Connecticut and the Northeast., Connecticut Wildlife is the lavishly illustrated, exhaustive overview of the ecosystems of Connecticut, its plants and animals, and the ecological links among the state s wildlife and their habitats from butterflies to red foxes, jellyfish to double-crested cormorants, poison ivy to phytoplankton.
