Brief Introduction
In the course of finding edible food, human ancestors had the chance to learn more and more about their natural companions. They would intuitively acquire increasingly intimate knowledge
about different types of plants and animals living in the forest community. Modern humans, especially those living in cities, being
divorced from nature, have largely lost this fine tradition and hence the survival capability if left in the wilderness. To help you to appreciatenature, the book has selected some interesting local tree species by virtue of multiple considerations, including botanical, ecological, biogeographical, historical, cultural, economical, ethno-botanical, ornamental, and anecdotal.
