Description
The third edition, completely revised, of the only guide to all the species of tree on London's streets, and further expanded to reflect the continually increasing diversity of London's streets, and the emergence of urban trees as a national issue since the destruction of street trees in Sheffield and Plymouth.
'For someone like me who is not a natural naturalist, the book reveals a previously unconsidered world situated just outside the front door, or at most only a bus ride away'. Ian Jack, Guardian; 'A brilliant book that will appeal to everyone. It is very definitely a worthy celebration of the urban forest.' British Wildlife; 'A thoroughly fitting tribute to the largest and most fascinating living features of our everyday environment.' RHS The Garden; 'An easy-to-follow, thoroughly researched and detailed book: a worthy addition to any bookshelf.' Natural History Museum Magazine
