Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Ex library copy with no external stickers and protective plastic covering. Stamps and stickers on inside. Wear to book corners and edges.

Western Australia is rightly famous for its unique plants and animals, and many of those who have been drawn, inevitably, to study them have also been remarkable people. Among the most notable in the 20th century is Rica Erickson, born on the East Goldfields in 1908 and has spent most of her life studying and writing about orchids, trigger plants, carnivorous plants, birds and insects.

An accomplished botanical artist, she has also produced a wealth of detailed drawings and beautiful watercolour paintings to illustrate her work.

In this book, Rica gives her account of how she became interested in natural history, who guided her, and how she researched.

Through these pages, the reader meets many other naturalists of the century and some who came before. The book is interspersed with reprints of some of Rica's writings from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Many of Rica's works remain standard references. This volume is their complement and our insight into a remarkable life. (back cover)

This book was published under the Charles and Joy Staples South West Region Publication Fund.
