This book opens a window on parts of the living world that are close to all people, but recognized by very few. Set in the context of new concepts for the Kingdoms of Life, the book encourages curious observers to look at common plants, invertebrate animals, fungi, algae, and bacteria in north-eastern North America, and to recognize some of their biological and historical connections. These connections flow from examples identified on the author's old farm in eastern Ontario, and support the theme of this book-common things reveal much about the way the world works. Profusely illustrated and beautifully designed, this is a book to enhance understanding of the natural world.
