If for nothing else, buy this for the illustrations. Some of the best etchings I have ever seen. But the explanations of how trees work, why they are important, are both scientifically accurate and intelligible without much background.
I love these Wooden Books. While I have primarily perused and purchased Wooden Books for math topics, I "went out on a limb" and decided to get this one about trees. It is a lovely book and very informative.
This is a gorgeous book with wonderful illustrations and charts that are full of great information. Only criticism is that the format is too small so that the tie on the charts is way too small - almost need a magnifying glass to decipher. The running content is very clear and concise (and type size if fine). Of course a larger format would cost more, but to me it would be worth it.
Very nice diagrams though quite small (thankfully I'm near-sighted). Great basic information; some new. Very good primer with everything in one small, interesting package.
An absolutely beautifully perfect small book loaded with creatively combined information about the green giants that surround all of us.
I bought this as an art reference book which it will be great for but the woodcuts are magical and I have not been able to put it down. I didn't realise how complex trees are but I don't think I ever thought about trees in this way until I got this book. I love these Wooden books, wih more of them were combined like the incredible Quadrivium.
Astonishingly beautiful and detailed coverage of the subject in a compact space. The drawings and woodcuts alone are worth the price but the incredible detail really knock me out (and my background is in Biology!). This is definitely a great buy!
I love all the Wooden books and this is one of my faves! This volume is beautifully illustrated. The illustrations are accompanied by a generous helping of scientific data, with species breakdown and more. Although I could not find credit to the illustrator of some of the pics. the cuts are listed, but not some of the pics, could someone help me out?
