Illustrated white cover is about the weight of posterboard. PAPER COVERS. Occasional Papers of the British Columbia Provincial Museum No. 26. Glossary of terms. Bibliography. Index. Map frontispiece & 31-page section of maps. Numerous drawings throughout text. SCIENCE. In an effort to make this work widely usable, and at the risk of occasional lapses from absolute precision, the author has tried to avoid as much as possible the use of highly technical terminology. However, some use of technical terms is unavoidable; therefore a glossary is included. The principal reason for the current interest in aquatic plants is an ecological one. The progressive human impact on the waters and wetlands of British Columbia has lately become sufficiently conspicuous as to draw attention to the need for study and action. A knowledge of the identities, distributions and abundances of the aquatic plants is one of the essential tools in assessing the effect of man's mainly terrestrial activities on the quality of the waters. ; 7-5/8 x 10-1/2"; 166 pages. 0771884656.
