内容説明

This is a natural history of the area of rugged California coastline and wild mountains known as Big Sur. The first section introduces the area's geology, climate, flora, fauna and human history. The volume then describes selected sites, trails and features. Although Big Sur is world famous for awe-inspiring scenery, it is less known for its great ecological diversity and its significance as a haven for many species of terrestrial and marine wildlife. In no other part of the world do fog-loving coastal redwoods thrive on one slope of a canyon while arid-climate yuccas grow on the other. Similarly, sea otters and cormorants live near dry-climate creatures like canyon wrens and whiptail lizards.
