Book Description

9 and upDK Eyewitness Books
Discover the world of trees -- their structure, variety and life cycles from tiny seeds to forest giants.

An original and exciting look at the fascinating world of trees. One of the most beautiful parts of our landscape, trees are rarely seen close up because of their height. Stunning real-life photographs of leaves, flowers, fruits, and bark offer a unique view of trees, from their leafy boughs to their roots beneath the soil. See a seed grow into a sapling, the changing colors of the Fall, and buds bursting into leaves. Learn how a tree breathes, how to identify trees, and how bark defends trees from attack. Discover how the wind pollinates catkins, how rubber is tapped from tree trunks, and much, much more!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 6-8 Oversized, lushly illustrated, and innovatively presented, this volume focuses on the diversity and functions of trees as organisms in the world biosphere. Each subject, such as cones, pollution and disease, and bark, is presented in a two-page spread with a general explanation accompanied by color pictures and drawings with paragraph-length captions. This format is especially effective in demonstrating such processes as tree germination or in pointing out differences through comparison as in seeds and nuts. The book will work well as a ready reference source. However, it would be most useful when read cover-to-cover for an overall understanding of trees in the context of the world environment. This volume has the pictorial advantage of the old standard Trees of North America (Western, 1968) by Herbert Zim, but with a more sophisticated look to appeal to ever more visually-oriented users.
