Title: Guide to Southern Trees (Dover,) by Ellwood S. Harrar, J. George Harrar ISBN: 0-486-20945-8 Publisher: Dover Publications Pub. Date: 01 June, 1962 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $14.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (2 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Chunky
Comment: This book by its size is obviously meant as a pocket guide, but at over 700 pages will be a snug fit in most pockets. A quick glance shows that its illustrations consist of full-page line-drawings. These drawings show the general appearance of a flowering or fruiting twig and some highlighted relevant details: flowers, fruits, leaf scars, etc. Considering the overall size the drawings would seem to be of decent quality.
Rating: 5
Summary: An absolute delight
Comment: This 700 page book neatly fits into your rucksack and that's where it should be (not on the shelf in your study). It is an old book, originally pubished in 1946, which means that there are no photographs. But who would miss them seeing all the beautifully drawn plates which illustrate a lot of the species? There is always at least one illustration per genus. The introductory keys are excellent as are the keys to the genera and species. The text provides information on habit, leaves, flowers, fruit, twigs, bark, habitat, distribution and importance. On average there is one page of description per species.
I thoroughly enjoyed using this book and all the information it gives about these exotic plant families (entirely fascinating for me who comes from an area poor in tree species: the central European Alps). I am looking forward to using it again on my next trip to Florida.
