Wanting by this e book amazed me about how little I had observed about some of my favourite trees. I'm trying forward to the winter time after I can use the images of the buds to follow my winter identification of timber and of course to subsequent spring to seize the blooms when they first emerge. Nancy is right if you mentions you will see timber with different eyes after studying this book.
This e book has some beautiful images-allowing you to see timber in a distinct light. The writer's enthusiasm infuses each web page-and may be very catching. Great info abound throughout the e book-including that a research confirmed that bluejays can plant acorns two miles away from the parent tree. And that trees with completely different sexes rely upon wind to pollinate. Nice work!!
This e book has it all for me. It is funny and charming. It is intellectually difficult and warm. The photographs are beautiful in every respect. The color is gorgeous. I have been stimulated to pursue plant knowledge that I have by no means been serious about before. Thanks for the great present, Hugo and Llewellyn.
