A noted naturalist, Charles Fergus communicates his love for trees in every description and gentle detail. The splendidly written narrative is enhanced by beautiful line drawings of the leaves, needles, bark, nuts, and other features of the trees, giving the book an additional function as an identification aid. It also includes a range map for each species, an index of scientific names, and information about how Native Americans and colonists used trees for food and medicine and how trees have appeared in folklore and mythology.
Trees serve many valuable functions--producing oxygen so other organisms can live, absorbing carbon dioxide, preventing erosion, providing wood for countless products, and producing fruit, nuts, and syrup. This highly readable book will increase anyone's appreciation of the majestic trees that populate our landscape.
Reviews / Votes
"This is the only recent book that has taken an in-depth popular approach to the natural history of trees in this region. Trees of New England is not thickly scientific or scholarly but rather is geared more to the average person with an interest in trees - of which there are many. Fergus really is breaking new ground here, even though the ground itself is quite old and well trod." -- Charles Johnson, Northern WoodlandsMore details
