The little Golden Guides started out with basic guides on bird and mammal identification, reptiles, rocks and minerals, the stars, and a few others back in the late 40s and early 50s. The line expanded greatly in the 60s and and 70s, eventually including more specialized subjects such as structural geology (the book on Landforms), the book on The Heart, Spiders and Their Relatives, Insect Pests, Ecology, Pond Life, and Non-Flowering Plants (i.e., all the non-seed producing, spore-reproducing plants such as mushrooms and other fungi, mosses, liverworts, and ferns). Some covered hobbies such as Fishing, Cameras and Photography, and Guns. There were even a few guides covering the geography, ecology, and culture of different parts of the U.S. such as the guides on The Southwest, The Southeast, and The Rocky Mountains.Along with the guides on Trees, Flowers, Botany, and Non-Flowering Plants, this was one of several guides on plant life in the series. Like all of them it includes excellent artwork rather than photos to enable you to identify each species. This guide describes over 120 different species of the weeds that are most common in the U.S. Each plant has a basic description of key features and another helpful thing is the range maps. These are useful because sometimes similar species have different ranges, allowing you to distinguish two species which otherwise might be easy to confuse with each other. Of course, ranges can overlap too.Weeds often grow in disturbed areas by the sides of roads and other places where man has upset the balance of nature so that in our modern civilization with lots of road and highways there are more habitats for common weeds than many other plants.
