Conifers Around the World presents 541 taxa of conifers of 56 genera, including several that are new to science.This book is the outcome of an ambitious 30-year project to search out and document all the conifers in the world's temperate zones and their adjacent regions – if possible in their most pristine natural habitats. The authors spent almost 2000 days in the field on the trail of conifers. They were able to visit and document the world's most inaccessible conifer taxa and to include the accompanying flora and vegetation in their documentation. They compiled a collection of 340,000 photographs representing thousands of taxa and backed with precise documentation.
