The usual apologies from cross-posting but a wood atlas that might be of interest to those working in the Mediterranean.

Subject: [IAWA Forum] Atlas of Wood, Bark and Pith Anatomy of Eastern Mediterranean Trees and Shrubs with a Special Focus on Cyprus
Dear colleagues,
we have the pleasure to announce the publication of a new book:
Crivellaro A. & F.H. Schweingruber. Atlas of Wood, Bark and Pith Anatomy of Eastern Mediterranean Trees and Shrubs with a Special Focus on Cyprus.
Springer. 583 p. 2803 illusustrations in color. (99,99 € | £90.00 | $139.00).
If you are interested to see how it looks like please go to: http://www.springer.com/978-3-642-37234-6.
The atlas highlights the anatomical diversity of trees, shrubs, dwarf shrubs, woody lianas and several of the prominent perennial herbs from the Eastern Mediterranean region, with a focus on the island of Cyprus.
The monograph for each of the 264 species belonging to 71 families includes a description of the anatomical structures of the stem and twig xylem and the twig’s bark and pith, as well as color micrographs of double-stained sections of each of these plant parts. These entries are accompanied by a photograph and a brief description of the plant including stem wood density, height, habit, flower, leaf and fruit characteristics, and a map showing its geographic and altitudinal distribution in the region. Xylem descriptions follow chiefly the IAWA lists of microscopic features for hardwood and softwood identification. For bark and pith descriptions, a new coding system developed by the authors is applied. Lastly, the work offers a key for wood identification that was developed to differentiate between groups of species by using a small number of features that are unambiguous and clearly visible.
The atlas will be a valuable guide for botanists, ecologists, foresters, archeologists, horticulturists and paleobotanists.
With best regards,
Alan Crivellaro and Fritz Schweingruber.
