Alabama's ecology is exceptionally rich and diverse. A book by co-authors W. Mike Howell (a Samford biology professor) and Vitaly Charny provides detailed descriptions and photographs of Alabama butterflies, collected over a nine-year period. The book contains valuable introductory material on butterfly anatomy, life cycle, and taxonomy.
This book is a wonderfully readable and visually compelling account of a particularly beautiful aspect of Alabama's natural environment.
