My thoughts: The "Welcome to the Museum" series of books is strikingly impressive. The art work is classic style and sometimes a bit of whimsy thrown in. But whenever real items are depicted, the accuracy of image and information stand up to scrutiny and are dependably trustworthy.
Gathering information about trees across the globe we call Earth and presenting the uniqueness of tree types in various "forest" on our planet, the book Arboretum is a book to depend upon and treasure.
I have discovered in recent years that scientists have presented information that substantiates the theory that trees communicate in the forests. The root systems are "hard wired" (my term) and allow communicate that alerts to tree distress, releases substances that aid in "healing" or strengthening the tree/s. Information along this line is provided in Arboretum.
Further information about the unique and yet similar trees in each of the forests on Earth is so interesting. Also, impartation of tree structure from the top to the farthest away roots is so interesting as is design of leaves and seeds.
The types of forest in each location on Earth is interesting (there is a two-page map showing these). I live in North Carolina and it is a delight to know (or discover) that in my state we have Temperate Conifer and Temperate Broadleaf forests. Within these types of forests, and many, many different types of trees. I always have loved how my state has such a wealth of green and then during the Fall such a bounty of colorful foliage.
Again, a hit for the "Welcome to the Museum" series.
