Synopsis

This small pocket guide to the more common fall color trees (6 X 4, 64 pp) contains 60 striking color photographs and the basic information to help you identify what tree you're looking at. A unique step-by-step method lets you identify a specific tree from the photos, drawings of leaves, and maps of the ranges where you can find each species. Tourists, teachers, and serious field botanists alike will find this a useful and enjoyable guidebook. The identification key is easy enough for school groups to use, but sophisticated enough to satisfy the amateur botanist. A Leaf/Shape Color Index allows quick identification of a tree by leaf shape and color.

About the Author

(From review by Edmund Fuller, former chief book critic for the Wall Street Journal) The authors, husband and wife, are well known throughout North Carolina. Both are distinguished botanists and both have been seen by many as leaders of annual wildflower workshops and enthusiastically received Fall Color Programs for the North Carolina Botanical Garden held at High Hampton in Cashiers, NC.

They have roamed our woods in the spirit of Henry Thoreau and John Muir - a tradition going back to John and William Bartram, in colonial days. Dr. Bell and Dr. Lindsey, both in person and in print, have dedicated themselves to bringing their wide knowledge to others. Wildflowers of North Carolina (UNC Press) is one of the most popular of Ritchie Bell's other books.
