In today's society, with so many distractions bringing us inside and out of the elements, it is important to be reminded of the natural world and the trees around us. These large plants do so much to keep our world in balance. They help control flooding by absorbing water and prevent erosion during heavy rains. They absorb much of the carbon we introduce into the air and give us the oxygen we breathe. Viewing these larger trees will help us appreciate the tremendous work that they do. We use them in many ways, such as building and furnishing our homes, as a source of heat, and even to cure our illnesses. This book tries to showcase different types of the Big Trees, so if you do not already know some of the species, you can learn to ID them. There may be more than one impressive example of the more common trees, as some just have to be seen"-- _cProvided by publisher.
