Deciduous Forests of Eastern North America

Emma Lucy Braun studied geology and botany at the University of Cincinnati, and graduated with her PhD in botany in 1914. She was the 6th woman to receive a PhD from UC, while her older sister Annette was the first. The two Braun sisters are famous trailblazers for the history of women in science and are a mark of pride for UC. Over the course of her life, E. Lucy Braun wrote four books and published 180 articles in more than 20 journals. The book presented here, Deciduous Forests of Eastern North America, is widely regarded as her greatest and longest standing scholarly achievement.
