Praise for the First Edition: Association of American Publishers
Professional and Scholarly Division Award Winner (Life
Sciences)"One of the ten best horticultural books of the century."
The Washington Post"Diseases of Trees and Shrubs is by far the best
book currently available for the horticulturist, arborist, or
forester who wishes to identify disorders of forest and shade trees
and woody ornamentals." The Public Garden"It may be used by anyone
with knowledge of general biology as well as by someone with
specialized plant knowledge for diagnosing plant disease problems.
Highly recommended." Library Journal"This book is a remarkable
contribution to the literature on tree pathology, providing a
valuable source of reference on tree disease for all with an
interest in the subject. It must surely be almost obligatory
reading for the specialist tree pathologist, and will prove of
great value to all tree care professionals. . . . It will fascinate
any tree lovers who wish to find out more about the diseases and
disorders that may afflict trees." Arboricultural Journal"It is
well written and it is illustrated with photographs of such high
quality that in this respect it could be described as a 'coffee
table' book of forest pathology." ForestryFirst published in 1987,
Diseases of Trees and Shrubs has become a standard reference for
plant health specialists, plant diagnosticians, horticulturists,
arborists, foresters, and their students. Now thoroughly revised,
fully updated, and illustrated with more than 2200 digitally
optimized color images in 261 full-color plates and more than 350
black-and-white photographs and drawings, the second edition is an
unrivalled survey of the diseases of forest and shade trees and
woody ornamental plants in the United States and Canada. The book
is both an authoritative reference book and a powerful diagnostic
tool. Organized according to type of disease-inducing agent, the
second edition is also designed to be helpful in classroom and
field instruction. Symptoms, signs, and cycles of hundreds of
diseases are described and microscopic features of many pathogens
are depicted in photos and line drawings. A searchable CD-ROM
included with the book contains bibliographic entries for more than
4500 works that readers can consult for additional information or
images. This remarkable scholarly work praised as one of the best
horticultural books of the twentieth century lays claim to the same
accolade for the twenty-first century."
