Title: Flora of the Mediterranean
Post by: John J on December 29, 2019, 10:15:49 AM

The authors of the excellent book 'Flora of the Silk Road', Christopher & Basak Gardner, have published a new one on the flora of mediterranean climate areas, to include California, Australia, South Africa and Chile. I obtained my copy when I returned from the AGM in October and am still working my way through it. As ever the photographs are amazing and the text informative. Thoroughly recommended and well worth adding to anyone's book collection.

I've ordered it from Florilegium Books in Glebe, NSW but not sure if it can be supplied as they are closing after 30 years  :'(
If they can't provide it I see that the AGS Bookstore has it listed in the supplement to the last journal but its not on the website  :-\

Fermi, I got my copy via a local bookstore here in Cyprus but I see it is advertised on Amazon.

For people who do have to rely on internet book shopping, a firm that is outstanding for the range of its natural history books is NHBS (https://www.nhbs.com/), which ships promptly and worldwide.
