Practical, accessible, and beautiful to browse with more than 1,200 color photographs, Trees of Britain and Northern Europe: A Field Guide helps the reader to identify over 400 different trees more quickly and easily than ever before. A unique color-coded key allows rapid access to tree groups, enabling you to pinpoint the species you're looking for fast, simply by examining the leaves of a particular tree, and then being led through other identifying features. Clear jargon-free information is given for each tree on its family, origin, spread, and distribution, alongside maps and photographs, as well as guidance on conservation issues. Also included is general advice on how to identify trees, distinguishing species by their bark, leaf arrangement and texture, smell, fruit, and flowers. This family reference book is the most authoritative and accessible of its type at this price point; comprehensive and detailed yet approachable, portable, and easy to use.

We are in the midst of a biological revolution. Molecular tools are now providing new means of critically testing hypotheses and models of microevolution in populations of wild, cultivated, weedy and feral plants. They are also offering the opportunity for significant progress in the investigation of long-term evolution of flowering plants, as part of molecular phylogenetic studies of the Tree of Life. This long-awaited fourth edition, fully revised by David Briggs, reflects new insights provided by molecular investigations and advances in computer science. Briggs considers the implications of these for our understanding of the evolution of flowering plants, as well as the potential for future advances. Numerous new sections on important topics such as the evolutionary impact of human activities, taxonomic challenges, gene flow and distribution, hybridisation, speciation and extinction, conservation and the molecular genetic basis of breeding systems will ensure that this remains a classic text for both undergraduate and graduate students in the field.
