'Never less than interesting, it is written in non-technical language that is consistently illuminating ...' New Scientist ' ... an excellent book ... The author has used an easy-to-read style with occasional quirky asides to keep the readers' attention ... The text is well-supported by line drawings, boxes and some black-and-white photographs. References are used only sparingly, but there is a good further reading list at the end of the chapter.' Keith Kirby, Bulletin of the British Ecological Society 'Peter Thomas illustrates his arguments well with clear line drawings and photographs ... overall it is a valuable, enjoyable addition to the literature.' Jeffrey Burley, Oxford Forestry Institute '... a thoroughly readable book, well produced, representing good value for money, and I would happily recommend it.' Jim McAdam, Biologist 'Peter Thomas illustrates his arguments well with clear line drawings and photographs ... overall it is a valuable, enjoyable addition to the literature.' Jeffrey Burley, Thesis ' ... overall it is a valuable, enjoyable addition to the literature.' Jeffrey Burley, The Times Higher Education Supplement ' ... a wealth of information for the general reader ... without becoming an intimidating ecological text.' Mineral Planning '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 '... this book was a pleasure to read. I will order it for my forest ecology class.' David Greene, The Quarterly Review of Biology 'This is just the book I've been waiting for! Peter Thomas has written a readable, interesting, but essentially factual book ... This is all proper scientific material, documents with references and further reading, but the style is highly readable.' International Tree Foundation '...[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
