Reviews

Terry Sprague:

'No roving naturalist in Ontario should be without this guide.'

Ted Mumford:

'A Nature Guide to Ontario represents one of the glories [of university press publishing].'

Pat and Kee Dewdney:

'This guide is impressive evidence of the hard work and expertise of hundreds of contributors, representing many conservation and environmental associations as well as individuals. But the accolades for the excellent reference book must ultimately go to the editors, and especially to Winifred Wake, who has done a magnificent job on an extremely ambitious but much-needed task.'
