"""A powerful and beautifully illustrated homage to a remarkable pioneer in sustainable urban forest management. Annaliese Bischoff leaves no stone unturned in the life story of Frank A. Waugh, landscape architect and artist."" -Dr. Diana Beresford-Kroeger, Author of Our Green Heart, To Speak for the Trees, The Global Forest, and Arboretum Borealis ""It is a wonderful addition to any book lover's library."" -Eugenia Bone, Author of Mycophylia, Microbia and Have a Good Trip""The Man Who Loved Trees is a delightful read! Annaliese Bischoff describes the accomplished life of 'landscape gardener' Frank Waugh-gifted horticulturist, family man, friend, teacher, and artist. It's a rare treat to get a glimpse into such a well-rounded life worth living."" -Julie Moir Messervy, Founder of JMM Design Studio, Author of The Toronto Music Garden, Contemplative Gardens, The Inward Garden, New Landscape Ideas That Work, and Infinite Spaces""Annaliese Bischoff has provided a real treasure in The Man Who Loved Trees, the story about a most remarkable man and his remarkable portraits of trees. In the early twentieth century, Frank A. Waugh was one of the most prolific writers and advocates for horticulture, landscape design, and conservation of the American landscape, but he is not well known today. He wished for us to see beauty in the common places around us, particularly in trees. Thanks to Annaliese Bischoff, we too can share his deep love of trees captured in this inspiring collection. This book will inspire a new generation!"" -Robert E. Grese, FASLA, FCELA, Professor Emeritus of Environment and Sustainability, University of Michigan, Author of The Native Landscape Reader and Jens Jensen: Maker of Natural Parks and Gardens ""Rooted in the land, Waugh engaged and taught about landscape joyfully. This well-crafted, highly illustrated book brings Waugh to us through his perception and art to honor trees as one vector in a rich, purposeful life. We all know how important trees are to our planet and all life, so this collection offers us a new window to their value. Thank you, Annaliese Bischoff, for uncovering this delightful legacy."" -Patricia M. O'Donnell, PLA, FASLA, AICP, Fellow US ICOMOS, Founder and Partner, Heritage Landscapes ""Annaliese Bischoff was destined to write this singular book. In it, Bischoff's impeccable scholarship combines with her background as an artist and a landscape architect who taught a generation of students in the very department that Frank Waugh founded at UMass. Waugh himself would doubtless say she got the story exactly right."" -Mark Resnick, Founder, Resnick Arts and Culture Consulting, and Author of The American Image"
