Description

A passionate and informative celebration of trees and of man s ingenuity in exploiting their resources: the perfect gift for anyone who cares about the natural world. Trees are marvels of nature, still-standing giants of extraordinary longevity. In a beautifully written sequence of essays, anecdotes and profiles of Britain s best-loved species (from yew to scots pine), Max Adams explores both the amazing biology of trees and humanity s relationship with wood and forest across the centuries. Embellished with images from John Evelyn s classic SYLVA (1664), THE WISDOM OF TREES is a gift book that will delight anyone who cares about the natural world and our interaction with it.
