Fresh crisp, clear Bach
Hear Bach with new ears. The mandolin brings a freshness and clarity which few harpsichordists convey. Thoroughly enjoyable. Brilliantly played and beautifully recorded.

Still worth a read
Although written from a forester's perspective, this provides valuable insights into native woodland as well as making it clear why Norway Spruce and other non-natives are seen as so effective in forestry. In some ways a book of its time (a 1970 revision of a 1956 text), and neither Rackham nor Peterken appear in the references, but it's valuable in explaining how we come to be where we are.

One volume of a superb highly-detailed 30-volume technical Flora
I bought this volume particularly for its treatment of North American elms, as I'm writing a book on elms in Britain, and some American species are planted here. It's a very well written technical handbook, with very useful line drawings, and detailed identification keys. The style is more readable than most equivalent Floras, such as Flora Europaea.
The main drawbacks if you needed the full set would be size and price: over 30 volumes so far (and still continuing) and new price is £62 per volume, perhaps £1800 for the full set, and each 4cm thick, so needing 1.2m of shelf space.
For my purposes, this inexpensive volume on Ebay was ideal.
