From beeches and redwoods to monkey puzzles and hackberries, this oversize encyclopedia provides a wealth of information on hundreds of species of trees. The book's first section describes the basic anatomy of a tree and the structures of the many types of forests found worldwide. The book's main section is devoted to the three main types of trees: conifers, temperate broadleaves, and tropicals. Clear illustrations, tables, and rich color photographs accompany each entry, which also includes information on one to several tree species' global distribution; structures such as roots, bark, and leaves; and commercial uses, from making matches to making rubber. A helpful glossary covers tree-related terminology. Firefly, 2005, 288 p., color illus. and photos, hardcover, $49.95.
