Five notable books on trees

One title on the Barnes & Noble Review's list of five top books on trees:

The Wild Trees
by Richard Preston

The most adventurous explorers of our age may well be the tree climbers -- botanists and amateur naturalists -- who have discovered the unexpectedly rich ecosystem (to say nothing of the awe-inspiring beauty) suspended in the canopy at the tops of Californian redwoods. Preston tells their exciting and surprising story.
