Book Description:
|
With the help of beautifully detailed illustrations and photographs, this book leads us on an intimate tour of the oak tree's dense root system, its lush canopy, the trunk's complex circulatory system, its reproductive processes, and its unique and densely-packed seed--the acorn. We learn the importance of the oak to combat air pollution, and supply building materials for people, as well as provide a food supply for many woodland animals.
