Summary: A good secondary reference
Review: This book relies heavily on color photos of bark, leaves, flowers, and fruiting bodies. This method makes winter identification diificult, and even when in leaf subtleties which differentiate species may not be evident. I use the Peterson guide to trees and shrubs (ISBN 039535370X) as my primary resource, and use the Audubon book as a secondary source.

Summary: A conprehensive field guide to the trees of the E. U.S.
Review: This field guide is an excellent field to the trees typically found east of the continental divide of the United States. This guide includes photos and descriptions of 315 species of trees, excluding about 100 trees of south Florida and a small number of imported varieties. The front 1/2 of the book includes 630 photos of leaves and bark, flowers, cones and fruit, and autumn leaves. The second 1/2 contains detailed descriptions of the 315 species presented in the front portion of the book. A detailed index including both common and scientific names is found in the rear of the book

Summary: National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Trees
Review: This is a excellant ID manual for the trees in the eastern USA and Canada. I feel that the way the manual is layed out is a big plus. The photos are very good. This is a book for all levels of the studing of these beautiful kings of the earth.The only area that can be improved (in my opinion) is the IDing of trees in the winter stage or off season. Overall, this book/manual is very portable and is easy to transport, fitting well in a backpack.

Summary: Trees are for life!
Review: Trees are for life not just firewood or park benches, and been able to identify and expand your knowledge helps in this appreciation. The National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Trees is a well laid out book with good reference material and identification method. I bought this book whilst living in LA and it has travelled with me to all corners and bogs. It is a source which is very much appreciated.

Summary: Great reference!
Review: We just purhased some new land with an abundance of trees. While I don't consider myself to be a tree expert, there where quite a few that stumped my husband and I. This is where this great little book came in handy. It lets you identify trees based on either flower, leaf, bark, etc and has them sorted into appropriate sections with colored photos. Needless to say, we have used this book time and time again. It is a nice size too so that you can take it with you.
