I enjoyed this book very much. It was interesting and educational, yet easy to follow and understand.

I loaned it to my father, a retired biology and earth science teacher, while he was visiting recently, and he enjoyed it also. He said he particularly enjoyed the humorous descriptions of some of her experiments with tree fruits and her openness to being corrected. He also found the particular examples of ginkos and hedgeballs interesting because they're trees that he's been interested in for other reasons.

I'm not sure this is a book that's likely to find the right readers if I just randomly release it - I may do so, but I'll try to think of a location that would be more successful.
