A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"This book was intended as a popular guide to 'important, indigenous, conspicuous and interesting trees of natural history interest' in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and Sri Lanka. . . . [It also] fills a gap in the literature. Most English-language books are old (late 19th or early 20th century) or of limited geographic or species scope . . . There are excellent black and white drawings of most species by P.N. Sharma. Flowers, seedpods, seeds, leaves, and even the backs of leaves are included where applicable. There is also a section of photos of some of the trees showing the whole tree in its natural habitat. This book would be useful for any library that collects worldwide field guides. It is also useful for a botanical or horticultural library, even though it is written for the layperson, because it clearly presents a large number of trees native to India and the surrounding area, and there are not many books that have the coverage of this volume." --E Streams

Présentation de l'éditeur :
