Carmichael, L. E.

The boreal forest : a year in the world's largest land biome / L.E. Carmichael ; Josee Bisaillon. - 1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 31 cm.

Includes index.

"The vast boreal forest spans a dozen countries in the northern regions like "a scarf around the neck of the world," making it the planet's largest land biome. Besides providing homes for a diversity of species, this spectacular forest is also vitally important to the planet: its trees clean our air, its wetlands clean our water and its existence plays an important role in slowing global climate change. In this beautifully written book, award-winning author L. E. Carmichael explores this special wilderness on a tour of the forest throughout the four seasons, from one country to another. Evocative watercolor and collage artwork by award-winning illustrator Josee Bisaillon provides a rare glimpse of one of the world's most magnificent places."--Amazon.
