With Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines in hand, visitors to the Great Smoky Mountains National park are able to see the trees instead of just the forest. The location of various stands of virgin forest, the elevations at which certain trees and shrubs are found, and other pertinent floral data are contained in this handy guide by Arhtur Stupka. Published with the cooperation of the Great Smoky Mountains Association, the book includes sixteen pages of pictures showing rare or exceptional specimens and forest vistas. A special feature of the volume is a twenty-four-page section of identifications to keys to each group of plants prepared by Dr. A.J. Sharp (1904-1997), former University of Tennessee professor of botany and former president of the Botanical Society of America.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of America's most beautiful and popular national parks. Located in the southern Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina, it is home to more than 100,000 species of plants and animals. The grandeur and sheer scale of the park has been captured in Donald W. Linzey's new book, Natural History Guide to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is the most extensive volume available on the park's natural history. Written from the perspective of a naturalist who has spent over fifty years conducting research in the park, this volume not only discusses the park's plant and animal life but also explores the impact that civilization has played in altering the area's landscape. Linzey, who has been a major contributor to the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory, a concentrated effort to identify every species of plant and animal living within the park, draws from this deep reservoir of research. His book provides a thorough overview of everything a visitor to the park would need to know, without complex jargon. Both casual readers and those more interested in the ecology of the Great Smoky Mountains will find this book an enlightening and educational guide. Donald W. Linzey, a wildlife biologist and ecologist, is professor of biology at Wytheville Community College in Wytheville, Virginia. He is an authority on the mammals of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and its environs.
