    A beautifully written account of the symbiotic relationship between pine trees and jays; a cycle of dependency has progressed for several million years as birds have effectively planted the trees that sustain them by dispersing the seeds. This book covers a wide range of regions, focusing on the Rocky Mountains and the American Southwest, but also ranging from the Alps to Finland, and from Siberia to China. The book is written from the perspectives of evolution, ecology, and animal behaviour.

    This is a shortish ... clearly written book for the general reader. * IBIS 1997 * This book is ... timely in focusing on the interactions between evergreen conifers and the varied wildlife they support. * The Times Higher Education Supplement * Lanner paints an eloquent picture of a complex, interdependent system, bringing the forest habitat alive in a book that cannot fail to enthuse a new generation of biologists. I will certainly recommend this book to undergraduates, to colleagues and to all those who mistakenly think that conifer forests are dark, sterile environments. * The Times Higher Education Supplement * '...this beautifully illustrated and gracefully written work illuminates the phenomenon of co-evolution.' * Ethology, Ecology, Evolution 10: 1998. *
