Trees by John White
Practical, accessible, and beautiful to browse with more than 1,200 colour photographs, Trees of Britain and Northern Europe: A Field Guide helps the reader to identify over 400 different trees more quickly and easily than ever before. A unique colour-coded key allows rapid access to tree groups, enabling you to pinpoint the species you're looking for fast, simply by examining the leaves of a particular tree, and then being led through other identifying features. Clear, jargon-free information is given for each tree on its family, origin, spread, and distribution, alongside maps and photographs, as well as guidance on conservation issues. Also included is general advice on how to identify trees, distinguishing species by their bark, leaf arrangement and texture, smell, fruit, and flowers. This family reference book is the most authoritative and accessible of its type at this price point; comprehensive and detailed yet approachable, portable, and easy to use.Dr. S.
