DOWNLOAD EBOOKMike Sullivan loves his adopted city of San Francisco, and he loves trees. In The Trees of San Francisco he has combined his passions, offering a striking and handy compendium of botanical information, historical tidbits, cultivation hints, and more. Sullivan's introduction details the history of trees in the city, a fairly recent phenomenon. The text then piques the reader's interest with discussions of 71 city trees. Each tree is illustrated with a photograph--with its common and scientific names prominently displayed--and its specific location within San Francisco, along with other sites; frequently a close-up shot of the tree is included. Sprinkled throughout are 13 sidelights relating to trees; among the topics are the city's wild parrots and the trees they love; an overview of the objectives of the Friends of the Urban Forest; and discussions about the link between Australia's trees and those in the city, such as the eucalyptus. The second part of the book gets the reader up and about, walking the city to see its trees. Full-page color maps accompany the seven detailed tours, outlining the routes; interesting factoids are interspersed throughout the directions. A two-page color map of San Francisco then highlights 25 selected neighborhoods ideal for viewing trees, leading into a checklist of the neighborhoods and their trees.

Dalton Dragons, Kings, and the Blazing Slicklizzard Heart Trees is a fast-paced story about a sweet, immature, and unhappy girl who has been mistakenly displaced in modern times when she should be Lady Grace of ancient times. Grace can only get into ancient times through the magical assistance of the Blazing Slicklizzard Heart Tree. The Heart Tree’s help is not free. Each being the Heart Tree assists must have evil in their heart, and the being must pay for the Heart Tree’s assistance by accomplishing blood sacrifices. Grace is selected to be an apprentice to an evil sorcerer, Belgand the Magnificent, so she may obtain evil in her heart and succeed in her quest to become Lady Grace. During her long journey, Grace finds out that she will eventually become the most feared High Sorceress ever to have lived in ancient times. Grace’s personal battle continues between becoming Lady Grace or remaining the High Sorceress of the Norwesian realm. To protect the Scindinvian realm, Goldendere the Great creates two Black Magic Draco Ice Dragons. The dragons become the most sought-after method of fighting battle engagements, especially when there is a High Sorcerer or High Sorceress upon their backs.
