The long wait for plant geeks is over! This massively improved sequel to the 1994 edition of Plants of the Chicago Region, by Floyd Swink and Gerould Wilhelm, still has the familiar distribution maps and descriptions, but now boasts many hand-drawn illustrations and animal (vertebrate and invertebrate) associations for thousands of native species in 977 genera.

Brimming with new data, such as 24 full-color photo plates on plant-insect interactions, this 1,372-page volume is presented with impeccable scholarship. Especially fascinating is a reflective essay by senior author Gerould Wilhelm. The wealth of information is pertinent and applicable far beyond this book’s Chicagoland focus.

Included with each book, all sturdily laminated, are a bookmark, Natural Divisions map of the Chicago region, Guide to the Floristic and Ecological Synthesis, and Surficial Geology Map of the Chicago Region.
