5.0 out of 5 stars A Field Guide Like No Other, Jan 2 2000

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: City of Trees: The Complete Field Guide to the Trees of Washington, D.C. (Paperback)

This is a very readable and extensively researched look at the trees of Washington D.C. It's an excellent field guide for identifying trees, but the thing I like most about it is that it tells the fascinating stories behind so many of the trees planted in D.C. If you live near D.C. and have even a mild interest in its history, I strongly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful photography and engaging text, Nov 5 2006

By Michael S. Dobson - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: City of Trees: The Complete Field Guide to the Trees of Washington, D.C. (Paperback)

I originally bought Melanie Choukas-Bradley's CITY OF TREES in its hardcover coffee-table edition and have followed its evolution since. As a Washingtonian of some thirty years' standing, I was originally unaware that this beautiful city was ever known as the City of Trees, but now that I've read Melanie's book, I've looked at the city through different eyes. Though the cherry blossoms are the best-known trees of the city, there's so much more, from the sights in every neighborhood through the rich diversity of our parks. DC is a beautiful city, and there's not nearly enough in print to show and share that beauty. Get this book.

This review is from: City of Trees: The Complete Field Guide to the Trees of Washington, D.C. (Paperback)

Having worn out my copy of the second edition, I put this edition on my Christmas list. It does not disappoint. A cross between a tour guide and a field guide, it's just the right size for carrying around on your expeditions. You'll learn about the capital's history as well as its magnificent trees.
