Peattie's [[nature writing]]s are distinguished by a poetic and philosophical cast of mind and are scientifically scrupulous. His best known works are the two books (out of a planned trilogy) on North American trees, ''A Natural History of Trees of Eastern and Central North America'' (1950) and ''A Natural History of Western Trees'' (1953), with woodcut illustrations by [[Paul Landacre]]. Peattie also produced children's and [[travel books]], altogether totaling almost forty volumes. He also published the classic, botanical treatment on the ''Flora of the Indiana Dunes'' (1930). |
