DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe ever-popular subject of trees is covered in this fantastic field guide which includes more than 150 species that are likely to be encountered in Britain and elsewhere in northern and central Europe. This includes native species such as Hawthorn, Wild Cherry, English Elm and Sessile Oak together with trees which have been widely introduced from other parts of the world. The book's USP is its ingenious set of identification keys at the start of the guide, which cover broadleaf and conifer leaves, buds, cones, catkins, flowers, fruit and bark and cross reference with the tree species and families in the main sections of the book. The guide is suitable for beginners and more knowledgeable readers and the text has been written in an easy-to understand style while there is a detailed glossary at the end of the book to explain any technical terms. Each species account covers a spread and includes a photo of the whole tree together with close-up detail of other features such as leaves, bark and so on while the accompanying text describes key characteristics for identification, including a useful 'Quick ID' section. In short this is a wonderful new field guide.The author, who has also taken all of the images himself, has been working on the idea and format for many years and is confident that the title offers something new in this market and that the book will be among the very best available in its category.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPlant anatomy is a vital part of plant descriptions and an integral component of taxonomy. It also provides a unique means of botanical identification of plant fragments and artefacts. The science in all of these roles has prospered for many years at the Jodrell Laboratory which is renowned as a principal world centre for the subject. Its reputation resides to a large extent in the substantial series of reference works on the systematic anatomy of dicotyledons and monocotyledons written by staff of the Anatomy Section in collaboration with researchers in other institutions. This present book, however, is the first from Kew to describe a single organ -the root -to provide a means of identification of a range of trees and shrubs when only the root is available. It has been inspired by the many root samples sent to the Jodrell Laboratory over the years, often when they seem to have been concerned with damage to the foundations of buildings. A previous book Tree Roots and Buildings written from the Anatomy Section by Dr D. Cutler and I. Richardson addressed itself to the frequency of damage of this sort caused by a range of tree species. In the present book the J odrell anatomists now expose the secrets of their diagnoses making it possible for others to recognize the plants from which roots are derived.
