Oaks
of North America
Howard Miller and Samuel Lamb had forestry careers, but
were
partial to the oaks. Their book has three major parts: history
and
uses of oaks, oaks of the East, and oaks of the West. Very
helpful
in identification are the keys for each section of oaks. The
authors
often trekked hither and yon in search of each species to
photograph the oak and its leaf, acorn, and bark. Accompanying
each is an informative chapter of description, details of
identification, growth habitat, and excellent range maps. They
mention ways each species is useful and unique from the other
oaks. 328 pages.
