Rezensionen / Stimmen
"...contains a wealth of fascinating information on both native trees and those introduced species that are widely naturalized. Here beginner and experienced naturalists alike can learn to identify most Texas trees while, at the same time, delving into the folklore, history, and wildlife ecology of the Lone Star State." - John and Gloria Tveten
