This volume will acquaint the reader with the ten groups of North American conifers above 45 degrees north latitude and point out some fascinating things about them. It describes all species in the area and provides easy- to-use keys. Written in clear, nontechnical language, the text is brimming with interesting information on the intricacies of coniferous life, including reproduction; the specialized parasitic plants, fungi, and insects that attack them; broad-leaved companions; and the origin of the evergreen forests. This book is guaranteed to enrich the reader's next forest visit. Annette Aiello, Smithsonian Tropical Research Inst., Panama
