Jenny: I have a couple dozen books on statistical methods, lots of floras and keys to plant species, numerous books on anatomy and physiology of plants, and about 30 Ph.D. theses from students that I advised (list probably not of interest).
More interesting books for ENTS are: Fire in America, Stephen Pyne Fire and vegetation dynamics, Edward Johnson The ecology of fire, Robert Whelan Forest Fires, edited by Edward Johnson and Kiyoko Miyanishi Oak forest ecosystems, edited by William McShea and William Healy Maintaining biodiversity in forest ecosystems, edited by Malcolm Hunter The ecology and biogeography of Pinus, edited by David Richardson The boundary waters wilderness ecosystem, Miron Heinselman A scientists guide to talking with the media, Richard Hayes and Daniel Grossman UnderGround, How creatures of mud and dirt shape our world, Yvonne Baskin The earth moved--on the remarkable achievements of earthworms, Amy Stewart Plants at the margin, ecological limits and climate change, R.M.M. Crawford The Thunderstorm in human affairs, edited by Edwin Kessler The vegetation of Wisconsin, John T. Curtis ( a great classic from 1959) The vanishing present, Wisconsin's changing lands, waters and wildlife, edited by Don Waller and Tom Rooney (new this year) These latter two books show that people from the University of Wisconsin are always way ahead of everyone else in their views of how the natural world works, and are thus worth reading regardless of where you live. I also have the Ancient forests of the northeast, and Eastern old growth forests. Lee JennyNYC wrote: > Ed, > > Great shelf!
