About this title

Review:

"Since it was first published in 1984, "Forest and Shade Trees of Iowa" has been the definitive reference for Iowa's trees and larger shrubs. In this third edition, the book's information has been expanded, freshly rearranged, and augmented with all-color photographs, making it even more accessible to the lay public as well as professional botanists. With the increasing attention now being paid to Iowa's woodland communities and their ecological importance, this book belongs on the desk of everyone who works--or plays--with trees and shrubs in Iowa."--Cornelia F. Mutel, author, "The Emerald Horizon: The History of Nature in Iowa"

"Amateur naturalists, professional scientists, and landowners in Iowa and beyond--in fact, tree lovers everywhere--will enjoy this much-anticipated update of a widely used classic. There is no better way to learn about the surprising diversity of trees in our prairie state than to have a copy of this book in your library or preferably in your hands while exploring woods, fields, backyards, and roadsides. Peter van der Linden and Donald Farrar have once again combined their talents, knowledge, and love of natural history to renew this enduring reference."--John Pearson, ecologist, Iowa Department of Natural Resources
