Çolak, Simay Kirca and Ian D. Rotherham, Pelagic Publishing: London, xix + 468 pp., £49.99 (hbk), ISBN: 978-1-78427-264-7 This remarkable and thought-provoking book demonstrates the vitality and strength of current trees, woods and forests research. It has 22 chapters which identify and consider diverse approaches to the study of trees: most of the research is European, although three refer to some fascinating Turkish studies.

All the chap- ters are valuable and together they produce a kaleidoscopic overview of recent research developments.
