Reviews

Praise from the previous edition: 'Never less than interesting, it is written in non-technical language that is consistently illuminating ...' New Scientist Praise from the previous edition: '... an excellent book ... The author has used an easy-to-read style with occasional quirky asides to keep the readers' attention ...' Bulletin of the British Ecological Society Praise from the previous edition: 'So, if trees have always fascinated you and if you have any trees in your guardianship, read this book. Even a quick skimming of its pages will enlighten you and make you curious to know more.' Sue Roe, Gardens Illustrated Praise from the previous edition: '... [the author's] enthusiasm and love of trees is apparent on every page ... it has become my 'tree bible'. I hope it will become yours!' The Dendrologist
