trated text comprising twenty-one com- 
prehensive articles written for scientists 
and laymen, Marine Mammals of East- 
ern North Pacific and Arctic Waters, 
edited by D. Haley (Seattle: Pacific 
Search Press, 1978), contains M.A. 
Newman’s “Narwhals” (pp. 138-44). 
Illustrated with more than two hun- 
dred photographs, F. Bruemmer’s 
anecdotal, personal narrative Encoun- 
ters with Arctic Animals, (New York: 
American Heritage Press, 1972), re- 
lates how they live, are hunted, and 
have been affected by humans. Bruem- 
mer’s informative chapter “The Sea 
Unicom,” on the narwhal and its clos- 
est cousin, the white whale, appears on 
pages 220 to 237. 
Weeds (p. 58) 
Although no books deal primarily 
with railroads as habitats for plants, E. 
Salisbury’s Weeds and Aliens (London: 
Collins, 1961) provides an excellent, 
readable, and authoritative introduc- 
tion to the natural history of weeds in 
all their major habitats. Focusing on 
the traits of weeds that make them suc- 
cessful colonizers, T.A. Hill’s The Biol- 
ogy of Weeds (London: Arnold, 1977), 
number 79 of the Institute of Biology’s 
“Studies in Biology” series, also reports 
the adverse impact weeds may have on 
crop plants. J. P. Grime’s more techni- 
cal study, Plant Strategies and Vegeta- 
tion Process (New York: John Wiley 
and Sons, 1979), outlines the processes 
that control vegetational structure and 
composition and discusses the kinds of 
strategies that allow plants to colonize 
and flourish in different habitats. No 
mention is made of railroads specifical- 
ly, but much attention is given to the 
special adaptations and evolutionary 
strategies of weeds. J. C. Kricher’s 
“Needs of Weeds” ( Natural History, 
December 1980, pp. 36-45) examines, 
from an ecological and evolutionary 
standpoint, the vital role of weeds as 
colonizers, their high dispersal rates, 
herculean reproductive powers, and 
adaptability to rigorous environments. 
The “Additional Reading” column of 
that issue (p. 74) describes ten more ref- 
erences.
