 Tree identification April 16, 2008

Just what I was looking for, to help identify the trees on property we recently purchased. Now is great since the trees are leafing out, which will make the ID easier.
 Book Review: National Audubon Society field guide to the night sky March 24, 2008
B. Arbuckle (East of Somewhere)
The National Audubon Society Field Guide to the Night Sky is a good book to get you started in the field of astronomy. Alone the book offers a ton of information, but is not the clearest in its descriptions of several concepts. As a pocket reference this book cannot be beat. Filled with many many good pictures to help fuel your imagination and fervor towards astronomy, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning the basics of this field of study.
a decent field guide to western trees January 1, 2008

As with all the Audubon Field Guides, so too with this one. The color plates are the best in all the field guides; these photos are indispensible for anyone who needs to ascertain which one of the 314 Western tree species needs to be identified.
The durable leatherette cover, along with the heavy duty (turtleback) book binding make this a book that can easily withstand much wear and tear.
The descriptive information is good; where the text starts to show deficiencies is in the Range, Habitat, and Summary sections on each species. The information tends to be vague and merely glosses over critical facts that should be included. I can only assume it's the usual story of the editors not having the space to include more relevant information.
The index is cross referenced to the color plates - this is a big plus when out in the field attempting to do identifications. As far as a good tool to increase one's knowledge of the natural world, this field guide is helpful and deserves a place in any naturalist's library.

A Useful Guide to Trees November 28, 2007
T. Burrows (New York, NY)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a user-friendly guide to trees in the Eastern U.S.A. So far, I have found it to be an enjoyable item to put in my backpack for a day on the hiking trail or the park. The book is clearly organized, with sections for leaves, flowers/nuts, and a couple of other categories. It is a good size, and the illustrations are clear. This book will help you identify trees. However, it is not a textbook or a serious introduction to the study of trees - for that, you would need something else.
Great homeschool material October 17, 2007

1 out of 2 found this review helpful
My age 14 grandson's biology text book had a few pages of information about trees, which were enough to whet his appetite to know more. We gave him the Audubon Field Guide to North American Trees - Eastern - which was perfect for the NE Tennessee - North Carolina area where he lives. This book greatly increased his knowledge of trees and his environment.
