Seeing Trees: Discover the Extraordinary Secrets of Everyday Trees by Robert Llewellyn, Nancy Ross Hugo

4.0

This is fine, for what it is.... which is mainly a coffee table book that isn't really meant to be read cover to cover but meant to be looked at and flipped through. The writing is nicely conversational, but it does get tedious when Hugo describes details of trees that would be much better expressed in the photographs. She even says at one point that describing bark is really hard, and then goes on to try to describe the bark of a bunch of trees. But all of that aside, this is a pleasant and informative book about the joys of observing trees in detail.
