What made THE SIBLEY GUIDE TO BIRDS and Sibley's other bird books so readable was not just the useful way he presented the information. Sibley dominated the field because of his graceful illustrations, the loving detail and the unexpected poetry of his text. THE SIBLEY GUIDE TO TREES lives up to its predecessors." Publisher's noteA comprehensive field guide to trees from the author of The Sibley Guide to Birds includes species arranged taxonomically, not by features, and includes detailed paintings that illustrate the cycles of annual and lifetime development. A comprehensive field guide to trees from the author of The Sibley Guide to Birds includes species arranged taxonomically, not by features, and includes detailed paintings that illustrate the cycles of annual and lifetime development. AnnotationFrench playwright Jacques Deval wrote, "God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages." David Sibley loved the birds and he created the most beautiful and insightful avian guidebook of all time, THE SIBLEY GUIDE TO BIRDS. Sibley has now proven his love for trees by giving them the same treatment. The book brilliantly succeeds on at least three levels: Sibley's gorgeous tree paintings are a joy to behold, his descriptions of the trees weave natural facts and wisdom into lines which flow like poetry, and the book is ingeniously arranged by taxonomy, in order to promote easy identification. Featuring hundreds of illustrations depicting the trees of North America in their entirety, as well as their leaves, flowers, cones, fruits, and branches, plus more than 400 maps detailing where each type of tree flourishes, THE SIBLEY GUIDE TO TREES is the definitive guide for anyone who has yearned to learn the names of our arboreal neighbors. Similar in size and format to "The Sibley Guide to Birds," this illustrated guide identifies more than 600 tree species in North America.
