where we upto with this one?

 

Sloth recieved it on 1st week july by the post above, so it will be a while yet Robarb

 

Anyone?

 

read the thread and all becomes clear:001_tt2:

Ah, its just as I have sent the one I had to sloth and i'm sure he asked for my address and I think I've got my wires crossed

 

Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

[sloth]

Yep, I asked for your address as you have it next. Not just yet though!

So far I would say it has more species and is a less cluttered in its delivery than Rogers (all I have which is comparable). I shall be more in depth at a latter date, safe to say I want a copy

[RobArb]

yeh sorry sloth it was my misunderstanding:lol:

Okay so I need to wait until someone asks for my mailing address for the body language of trees, I think that is the one I got in line for. what other ones are out there now, I know the fungi one is out there, this is the coolest thing, I love this site!!!

[RobArb]

Just search "hamadryads book club" or "bookclub" etc in the search box and you'll find all related threads

So, this book is great. Simples.

I don't actually think it does have as many species as Rogers, but as said before, it is easier to look through, and digest the text. I really like that mycorhizal species are highlighted. One of my favourite features is the photos, and that they are taken in situ, not in a studio. It helps to give a feel for their habitat.

Also, the opening to the book is fantastic, very informative and well written, again, easy to absorb.

I suppose if I must be critical, the only downfall for me was the lack of a couple of tree bound polypores! I think dryadeus and innonotus were absent; however no fungi book has them all, and this is still a must, which I shall be getting for the collection and aiding my id's.

Well done Gerrit, top notch!
