Plants and Trees Books

I enjoyed giving it to my father as a gift. Pictures are spectacular and the narrative is just so interesting!

Gordon Morrison's A DROP OF WATER also tells of a big journey begun with a small event. A drop of water falls from a child's fingertip to eventually journey back to the sky, flowing down a mountain, collecting in a bog, seeping through a beaver's dam and more in the process. Large, lovely drawings illustrate the process. These are all lovely, unique acquisitions.

This book is a must for anyone who is considering naural resource management as a career, as I am. It deals with the basic ecological terms and poses some very difficult problems that forest management will occure in the recent future. If you are interested in conservation, and not preservation, this book will be a wise investment.

Good book as I have been a fan of Mike's Online garden info for several years. A good starter! Book was in great condition! Thanks

Not to mention nicely illustrated. One page description with opposing page picture. A can't lose formula.

Knowledgeably compiled and deftly edited by Peter Friederici (Ecological Restoration Institute), Ecological Restoration Of Southwestern Ponderosa Pine Forests presents a variety of essays by learned and articulate authors in the fields of forestry, biology, philosophy, ecology, political science, archaeology, botany, and geography. Ecological Restoration Of Southwestern Ponderosa Pine Forests brings together perspectives from all these fields with a special focus upon the task of renewing the pine forests of Southwestern Ponderosa. The thoughtful and scholarly writings are enhanced with black-and-white photographs, as well as charts, maps, and graphs addressing all aspects and difficulties pertaining to contemporary efforts to encourage mother nature. Ecological Restoration Of Southwestern Ponderosa Pine Forests is an important and welcome contribution to professional and academic Environmental Studies reference collections.

This is a terrific book with a lot of appeal not only to people interested in pines, but to a wide audience of ecologists, land managers, foresters and graduate students in ecology. There are 22 chapters by authors from 4 continents, with close to 3000 references. The book offers a wealth of insight into the effects of humans, fire, evolution and systematics of pines, reproduction and life histories, pines and invasive ecology and more. It may be too expensive for many readers, but get your library to buy a copy, at least. J. Gurevitch, Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolution, State Univ. of NY at Stony Brook.

A fasinating book, I read it while doing Arbotech 3x marco's.

Has some excelent drawings and a key for elms of China.

Goes over some of the genetic research in the genus and how some species are probibly realy old clones that have moved with man. How many european morfilogicaly disimilar but geneticaly fall in the same ranges.

Toches on Elm Yellows.

The history of DED, how the vectors move it and how this must have been a relitively recent phenomena.

the history of DED treatment and a brief comparison of Arbotech and Alamo.

As one who feels trees and words have amazing power and mystique, I believe Gayle Samuels pays high tribute to them both in Enduring Roots: Encounters with Trees, History, and the American Landscape. With intense passion and deft pen, Samuels lyrically brings the reader along on her journey to explore trees - from their physical structure to their integral place in our personal, natural, and national histories. Her vibrant writing evokes the emotional, the logical, and the visceral. The pages are rich with self-discovery, hands-on exploration, extensive research, and hard science. Her descriptions are clear and solid; so much so that reading, for example, about the majesty of the aged bristlecone pines and ancient oaks raises goosebumps.

Enduring Roots is not too sappy, not too woody; it's Just Right for everyone!

this book has a good basic overall view of many plants for the indoors. My fave part was how the plants are divided according to the room conditions. For example "Easy Plants for Cool Room" Easy Plants for Warm Room" etc.

I use this book everytime I add a new plant to my house.
AWESOME!
