Description
Author Biography
Google Preview: Native Trees of Connecticut is a step-by-step, illustrated guide to identifying trees that addresses what to look for and shows how easily observable characteristics can lead either to an immediate identification or to determining a type. In the Nutmeg State there are 90 or so native trees. For each species the book describes the overall shape and form of the tree when it is grown in an open area, provides a detailed description and photographs of leaves and bark, indicates the habitat in which the tree is typically found, and discusses the significance of the tree for wildlife. Additional characteristics, such as flowers, buds, fruits, and others, are described and pictured when they are useful for identification.; John Ehrenreich has a PhD in biological sciences and is a volunteer at Connecticut Audubon's Deer Pond Farm sanctuary, where he co-leads nature walks and prepares educational materials. In his professional life he is a psychologist and a former Professor of Psychology at SUNY-Old Westbury. He is the author or co-author of six other books, including The American Health Empire (Random House), The Altruistic Imagination (Cornell), and Third Wave Capitalism (ILR/Cornell). His articles have appeared in, among other places, The Nation, Slate, American Prospect, Salon, and Washington Monthly. He resides in Sherman, Connecticut.; Google Preview content
