Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Timber Trees, Timber and Fancy Woods, as Also, the Forests, of India and of Eastern and Southern Asia It will also be seen that I have largely given the vernacular synonyms by which the trees are said to be known to the various people of 'these countries and in the several locali ties ia which they grow and I have done this because some inquirers put a high value on such synonyms. But, a reference to the notices under black wood, ebony, rose wood, san dal wood, iron wood, poon wood, red wood, &c., &c., will satisfy the mind that commercial names have relation merely to the physical appearances or characters of the woods, and with regard to local names, it is not probable that uneducated and often little civilized nations can be more suggestful in their designations and I may here refer to the synonyms under Tree and to the article Sumatra, to the names applied by many of the Malaya-nesian nations and races in the Archipelago from Sumatra eastwards to Borneo, to show that the name for one of our most famed woods of India, the Poon, merely signifies, in those wide regions, any tree. It is said that the island of Luzon got its name from a voyager asking the name of that island of a woman who was grinding corn with a hand-mill. Imagining that the, to her, indispensable hand-mill was the object of his inquiries, she answered Luzon and gave the name by which the island is now known. Many similar errors must ever occur in the inter-communications of educated and uneducated people, and though useful to the extent of directing inquirers, I deprecate any unbounded reliance on verna cular names.'

Book excerpt: From the author of Earth: An Intimate History, an exuberant "biography" of four acres of woodland, evoking a cosmos of living and inanimate things and imagining its millennia of existence A few years ago, award-winning scientist Richard Fortey purchased four acres of woodland in the Chiltern Hills of Oxfordshire, England. The Wood for the Trees is the joyful, lyrical portrait of what he found there. With one chapter for each month, we move through the seasons: tree felling in January, moth hunting in June, finding golden mushrooms in September. Fortey, along with the occasional expert friend, investigates the forest top to bottom, discovering a new species and explaining the myriad connections that tie us to nature and nature to itself. His textured, evocative prose and gentle humor illuminate the epic story of a small forest. But he doesn't stop at mere observation. The Wood for the Trees uses the forest as a springboard back through time, full of rich and unexpected tales of the people, plants, and animals that once called the land home. With Fortey's help, we come to see a universe in miniature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Important Timber Trees of the United States: A Manual of Practical Forestry Another feature may cause surprise in the minds of some of my readers. It is not at all improbable that some of the descriptions of trees considered do not agree with the reader's personal observation, and yet such descriptions may well fit the general average of the tree. The character and general appearance of trees are frequently modified to a great extent by location, climate, and soil. Trees of a given species grown in the same vicinity will often vary in form and sometimes in character of wood; therefore a description of the general average will best fit the case, and to give such has been my endeavor.
