- Arabella Burton Buckley was born in Brighton, England, to a prominent family. At age 24, she became a secretary to Charles Lyell, a lawyer and the leading geologist of his day, and worked for him for about 10 years. Then she began writing and lecturing on science. She knew a number of well-known scientists including Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. In 1884, she married Thomas Fisher, but continued publishing under her maiden name. In addition to her own writings, such as The Fairy-Land of Science (1878), many of them aimed at young people, she edited Mary Somerville's Connexion of the Physical Sciences (1877) and Heinrich Leutemann's Animals from Life (1887). Her books were popular enough to be translated into many other languages, including Japanese and Polish, during her lifetime.

The first few chapters are about the value of trees, and the tree life cycle. Some chapters discuss flowers that are found on trees, and shrubs. A neat chapter that I found to be interesting is the plant life you can identify in the part. It gives a guide to what sort of trees, and shrubs you might be able to identify in your local park. I think that this would be excellent to read and take along on a field trip to a park, or woods. There are so many lesson opportunities with this book. The book also talks about various trees and compares them, and also relates them to each other. There are pictures that support each tree, in how it looks. I would recommend this book to upper level elementary grades. It is best suited for 4th and 5th graders because of the high reading level.… (mer)
