Book Reviews: Map of Potential Natural Vegetation of the United States

The appearance of Prof. A. W. Kuchler’s new vegetation map of the United States* is a major event in vegetation science in this country. This handsome map, at a scale of 1/3, 168,000, is at once an essential part of the equipment of everyone who teaches ecology, botany, zoology, or any of the practical aspects of these sciences, as well as of anyone doing research in, or even interested in, any of these fields. In addition, it is indispensable for every geographer and geography library. We predict that it will very soon be out of print.
