National Wildlife Federation Field Guide to
Trees of North America, coauthored by ENTS' own Bruce
Kershner (primary billing on the cover) and Mathews, Nelson, and
Spellenberg (also Purinton, Block, Moore, and Thieret.) I
think that I remember Bruce talking about it or the concept of it at
some time in the past. It's a good guide with photographs of
trees, branches, leaves, seeds, and bark with accompanying range
maps and descriptive text. One down side, it lists typical
heights and diameters but in most cases, doesn't include maximum
known heights or diameters. It is a soft cover with a
ruggedized cover material that is marked "Waterproof
Cover" - I don't think that sweaty hands on a hot summer day
will damage this one. The paper and images are high quality,
too. It's a nice book that I'm adding to my collection. -

Georgia Native Plant Photo Guide Published by April Sorrow, News
Editor, University of Georgia Published Jun 11, 2008. ATHENS,
GA - It is impossible to describe the beauty of a Nodding Trillium
to someone who has never seen one. A new field guide from the
University of Georgia provides a pictorial hike through the Georgia
Mountains and includes detailed descriptions of native plants like
Foam Flower, Showy Orchids, Pink Lady's Slipper and Nodding
Trillium. See the link above for the full article text.
