Textbook of Dendrology

By S.R. Mishra

Book Overview

Dendrology is basically a science all about trees and other plants that have woody structures. It seems appropriate to have such a complicated science for a plant system that took a long time and a lot of effort to evolve into the structures that they are today. Trees have a long history, about three hundred and seventy million years in the making, so there is a lot to learn, and piece by piece the science of dendrology has put together an evolutionary pattern, one that we will likely see continue with new species come and older species die off. The tree is quite fascinating, so too is the science of dendrology if you look beyond it's complicated name and the simple appearance of a tree.

Customer Reviews

Poorly Written

Very poorly written. The author seems to have excellent scientific knowledge with a poor ability to communicate it consistently. I regret purchasing the book and use it largely to find terms that I can research elsewhere.
