Book excerpt: "Clever, pretty, fun and informative--what more can a reader ask for?" --Sara Maitland, author, Gossip From the Forest We're surrounded in cities by trees, quiet colossuses that most of us don't know by name. Does that matter? It's certainly possible to appreciate a tree for its beauty, its shade, and its shelter without knowing whether it's an alder, an elder, a lime, or a beech. But look harder, and we begin to see the beauty beneath the bark--the tales of how trees are integral to medicine and art as they are furniture and firewood; the stories of why wild figs grow on the banks of Sheffield's rivers and why the ash tree is touched with magic and mischief. As well as being an illustrated guide that will help you identify some of the species you see around town every day, Sylvan City is also a potted-journey through our cities' woody places and a literary hunt for where their wild things are. Inviting readers on an intricately illustrated journey into the urban forest, Sylvan City is both a practical guide to identifying 20 of the most common trees standing sentry on our street corners, and a lyrical, anecdotal treasure trove of facts and history, culture, and leafy lore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book you are holding is not meant to be carried along the concrete sidewalks, dog-eared and thumbed through, held up against the profile of each unknown street tree to determine its identity. The intention here is to capture the artistry and aesthetics of street trees and, if possible, provoke an emotional feeling inspired by the trees. We want to lure you into the book with its gorgeous colors and naturalistic images so that we can whisper into your ear the value of native trees in a functioning urban ecosystem. We can better share our city streets and yards and rights-of-way with nature by supporting the native trees that support the native ecosystem; a support not provided by the traditional non-native ornamental species sold in quantity at box stores and high-volume nurseries. Rather than mitigate the impacts of concrete and steel, non-native plants increase the urban food desert, their leaves and flowers strange fruit in a strange land, bitter poison to native insects and other endemic foragers"--
