First published in 1950, and still widely used as a reference today,
"Deciduous Forests of Eastern North America" by Emma Lucy Braun describes in
detail the trees and shrubs of the deciduous forest of Kentucky, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
The Blackburn Press has recently returned the book to print, making it
available to libraries, scholars, ecologists, land preservationists and
others who would like to own or replace a copy of a classic book.
The author was a pivotal influence in the then-developing field of plant
ecology. The Ecological Society of America elected Braun its first woman
president in 1950.

The Blackburn Press is a relatively new publishing company, founded with the
mission of keeping in print and available for purchase at reasonable prices
book titles that larger publishers have lost interest in and have declared
to be "out of print." It specializes in scientific and technical books that
are classics in their field. (See www.blackburnpress.com). While it is not
well-positioned to bring every out-of-print book back into production, its
editors are eager to hear from authors and readers about out-of-print books
that have value and should be returned to print. Please contact Frances
Reed, Publisher, at freed@blackburnpress.com.
