Review # 1 was written on 2008-01-17 00:00:00 Jeffrey Blair I'm still working on this book. It has short chapters with line drawings of trees. The neat thing is that it goes beyond a typical field guide (which has range, habitat and ID info) and includes the ecological context for each species, how is it utilized by wildlife, and how humans have used it for medicine, furniture, etc. Very readable and fun. It's like having a knowledgeable field trip leader at your side.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-09 00:00:00 Becky Bach This is a great little book, not a field guide but an anecdotal description of each of the seventy species the author covers in the book. If you want to know what trees were alive when the dinosaurs roamed, which trees originated above the artic circle millions of years ago when the earth was much warmer, or thie uses or their biological idiosyncrasies this is the book for you.
