Recensioner i media

A well-written and often witty survey of the natural history of (piñon) pines, spiced with observations on their importance to the native Indians and subsequent European settlers. . . . The engaging text and copious pictures make it difficult to put the book down, and the appendix of recipes for pine-nut dishes is an added bonus."" —Library Journal
