Summary: Useful for novice, gardener, historian, and botanist.
Comment: This guide to trees includes 300 different species of the most important trees from around the world, 51 of which are native to north America. They are divided into the following categories: conifers, palms, broadleafs, fruit trees, flowering trees, and trees of economic importance. Each category is arranged alphabetically by the genus name.
Each entry includes the following: GENUS and SPECIES names, common name or names, family, historical origin of the scientific name (etymology), habitat, description, propagation, conditions for growth, a photograph, several drawings, and the climate zone (1 - 10) in which the tree can live in the U.S. The description section comprises about two thirds of the written entry.
The book includes a 46 page introduction which covers the history of trees, climate and ecosystems, the wood, the leaf, the flower, the seed, the names of trees, and the future of trees. The back of the book includes a glossary of terms that will prove useful for both the novice naturalist and the botany major.
The information is extensive, useful, interesting, and almost completely accurate. The propagation and conditions for growth sections will be useful for the gardener.

Summary: great book great illustrations, worldwide coverage
Comment: Excellent book, full colour pictures, detailed illustrations to help identify leaves and seeds. Covers trees from all over the world, not just regional as with my publications today. Looking for book of same quality covering ornamentals.
