Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-20 00:00:00 Sungsoo Shin Very much one of the best books to have if you're interested in North American Turtles. All kinds of information is given, down to internal temperatures when basking, average distance traveled between ponds to find mates, even synopses on research on how the various subspecies came to be.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-28 00:00:00 Christopher Watkins My favorite book for tree identification. While dealing mostly with trees of eastern North America (plus some imports), the book provides a useful set of identification tress useful in summer or winter, as well as a decent glossary. "The Illustrated Book of Trees" includes well done line drawings of pertinent features, and the descriptions usually include the tree form, leaves, etc., as well as the composition and uses of the wood itself.
