Pooleys trees of Eastern South Africa (Paperback, 2nd)

This exciting new tree book has been eagerly anticipated. It covers over 1 000 species of larger woody plants from the eastern region of South Africa - two thirds of South African tree species. It includes a great collection of over 3 000 photographs which offer a comprehensive view of each species, including the alien invaders. This book is a completely revised 2nd edition of the bestselling Trees of Natal, Zululand & Transkei by Elsa Pooley (1993). All the favourite aspects of the original book such as all the larger woody plants in the region (now expanded to include Swaziland) - generous photographs, detailed distribution maps, names in all local languages, general information on ecology, plant uses and gardening, as well as an easy to use text, are still in place. Added to this are a great new collection of photographs, updated scientific names, more user friendly keys, a new layout which includes family names and derivation of all scientific names and colour coded updated maps. The introductory chapter to vegetation types is greatly expanded and updated and includes a map of the biomes. This book will be a "must have" for all tree lovers, appealing equally to those looking to expand their knowledge and those with a passing interest in trees. It will appeal to professionals in the environmental field, to farmers, gardeners, students and educationalists.
