Critics Review
Having experienced Eucalyptus trees in their native Australian haunts, I fell in love with them and was intrigued by their diversity and beauty. This book on Eucalyptus provides the reader with a unique experience: wonderful descriptions of these amazing trees and bountiful information on their uses and cultural significance that are so important in the lives of Australian Aborigines. I enjoyed Stephen D. Hopper’s book immensely and highly recommend it to anyone interested in Australia and plants.’ * Mark W. Chase, Honorary Research Associate, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew *
