Sibley Guide to Trees Book
Birders appreciate how intricately birds are connected to everything else in nature, including trees. Trees are home and nursery and food and drink and safety to birds. It's intensely satisfying to know trees too when we're studying birds.

David Sibley now brings his great artistic talents to the more than six hundred tree species of North America.

Similar in size and format to The Sibley Guide to Birds, this guide is a triumph of easy, systematic identification of trees.

Species are arranged in taxonomic order, so that trees that are related to each other are close to each other in the book. This logical arrangements is great for birders, who are accustomed to this plan from field guides to birds.

You don't have to be a birder to love this book, though. Anyone can browse the images and find a match for an observed tree.

David Sibley's lovely, detailed paintings illustrate the cycles of annual and lifetime development. They reveal subtle similarities and differences between different species: bark, leaves, needles, cones, flowers, fruit, twigs, and silhouettes.

Over four hundred maps show the complete range, both natural and cultivated, for all the native trees of North America except for southern Florida. Most of the commonly planted non-native trees are also shown.

The book also covers conservation, preservation, and environmental health.

If you appreciate The Sibley Guide to Birds, this new book will certainly go zing.
