To the student or layman I recommend this book most highly. -- Farida A. Wiley, American Museum of Natural History\u003cbr\u003eNature lovers will welcome this authoritative, easily accessible guide to all woody plants -- trees, shrubs, or vines -- both wild and cultivated, commonly found in the Northeastern United States and adjacent parts of Canada. The book omits lengthy technical descriptions in favor of easy-to-use keys covering such characteristics as leaves, twigs, bark, buds, seeds, stems, fruit or fruit stalks, and other identifying traits. For this revised edition, Dr. Graves added a Winter Key, which, together with the Summer Key, facilitates identification throughout the year.\u003cbr\u003eWith the help of these keys, a section of shortcuts for the novice, a glossary, and over 300 detailed, accurate pen-and-ink drawings, even beginners will be able to quickly and accurately identify a wide variety of plants. Rigorous enough for the scientists, yet easily accessible to the layman, this book is the ideal resource for naturalists, hikers, amateur botanists, gardeners, homeowners -- anyone who wants to know more about the trees and shrubs of the Northeast.\u003cbr\u003eAn outstanding feature of the book is the more than 300 pen-and-ink drawings by a noted botanical artist, Maud H. Purdy. It is a real pleasure to view page after page of these original and excellent drawings reproduced from copper plates. -- \u003ci\u003eScientific Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Harmount Graves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486272583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486272580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.11w x 0.68d","brand":"Arthur Harmount Graves","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994856816895,"sku":"9780486272580","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a1a41699-5b40-4531-bf87-bc77ce7f7b15.jpg?v=1683332574","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/illustrated-guide-to-trees-and-arthur-harmount-graves-9780486272580","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
