By Alex L. Shigo
The beauty, grandeur, and unique qualities
of tree species are usually admired and
photographed from the outside. Alex
Shigo’s distinctive book takes a close look
at tree anatomy through magnificent
photographic enlargements of the systems
at work inside trees. Over 100 photographs
are accompanied by detailed text, identifying
the tree species and describing the
particular example or condition within the
tree’s anatomy that is being illustrated.
This work is a marvelous, close-up
perspective of the complex inner systems
of woody plants. (©1994, hardcover,
