Everyone who works with, studies, and loves these trees will derive both knowledge and pleasure from learning about them in great detail. I have always had a special fondness for the conifers and their mystical and inspiring representatives like the massive redwoods and the bleak denizens of the boreal forests, the spruces. I conclude that Powell's book does them their well-deserved justice.\"\u003c\/i\u003e -- Graeme Berlin, Yale University School of Forestry and Environmental Studies\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eA comparative account of the coniferous trees indigenous to Northeastern North America.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Extensively illustrated with full-color photographs, diagrams, and drawings by the author, Graham R.
