Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Alexander, Polly (illustrator). Washington boasts more than 300 species of trees from Europe, Africa, Asia, and America--perhaps a richer variety than any other city in the world. "City of Trees" is the authoritative field guide for locating, identifying, and learning more about them. This popular book has been revised and updated and now appears in a convenient new format for easy use on walks around the Mall, the Capitol, the White House, the presidents' memorials, the National Zoo, Mount Vernon, Rock Creek Park, or any neighborhood. Full-color photographs of blossoms and detailed drawings of leaves, berries, nuts, cones, and seeds supplement the book's simple yet thorough descriptions. The authors have included other helpful information for tree-watchers, such as a calendar of blooming dates for Washington's spectacular flowering trees, discussions of the trees' botanical histories and native habitats, and an illustrated glossary. Melanie Choukas-Bradley's articles and photographs have appeared in the "Washington Post," "Washingtonian Magazine," and many other publications. Polly Alexander is an illustrator and graphic designer whose photographs have been featured in the "Washington Post Magazine." There is tape on the inside edges of the front and back covers. The pages are clean and free of any markings and highlighting. Seller Inventory # 1025
