Tree the Inside Story

Trees are an important component of the natural landscape and also of human life. They play an important role in producing oxygen, essential for living organisms on earth. They reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as well as moderate ground temperatures.

In this book the author, Dr. B.B Sharma, a former Professor of Horticulture, has focused on the functions of the trees and described the methods to take care of this inseparable component of human life.

With his simple and lucid style of writing, he has presented this vast subject, so as to make it appealing, not only for the young generation, but for everyone, as felling even one tree a day in the long run could spell doom for human kind.

"Tree The Inside Story" written by Prof. B.B. Sharma is essentially a beginner's guide about trees and how they grow. The book is written scientifically yet in a simple language about threes. For many children, trees are something they see on roads, gardens and sometimes in their dwellings. This book will enlarge their understanding the way trees actually grow.

There are many useful sections on how to name a tree, measure its height, age, carbon content and after care along with information on cells, roots, bark, leaves, fruits and seeds. In addition, there is a glossary on current scientific terms related with trees describing them in a simple and lucid manner. It is hoped that the book will inculcate love for growing trees and their proper upkeep.

Beautifully illustrated both with drawings and photographs, this book is a treasure and an appropriate gift for the modern day children who are otherwise bound in their homes due to modem technology.
