This review is from: Red Oaks and Black Birches: The Science and Lore of Trees (Paperback)

When I learn about the things around me, forever after that they look more interesting to me. This book taught me a great deal about trees and led me to learn more on my own afterwards. Stop and smell the roses, AND stop and appreciate the trees! This book enabled me to do that more than before.
