Summary: Impressive photo atlas
Comment: This is an atlas of color photographs of various parts of trees, at low power magnification (always with reflected light). Mostly from the inside of the tree, but also quite a few pictures from the outside. The picture quality mostly is very good, especially when classic topics are photographed.

Dr Shigo also markets two slide packages ("Tree anatomy, above ground", "Tree anatomy, below ground") with many of the same pictures. In conjunction with "A new tree biology" these are intended to help raise awareness of how trees live and grow.

On the minus side: the accompanying text is not always a 100% correct and the selection of pictures is perhaps not an optimal balance, both in what parts of the tree are illustrated as in what species of trees are selected. Also it is a fairly expensive book (less than a 100 pictures). Nevertheless a very impressive atlas.
