Product Description
The secret world of trees is revealed in this beautiful and absorbing guide to the giants of the plant world. Trees occur naturally throughout the world and have been a part of human history almost as long as humans have existed. Used for shelter, tools, fuel, and food, they also help supply the atmosphere with oxygen and form astonishingly diverse ecosystems, as well as some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes. Now the intricate world of leafy woodlands and abundant rainforests is revealed in this extensive visual guide to trees, exploring their key scientific traits and their ecological importance, as well as their enduring significance in human history and culture. From ancient oaks and great redwoods to lush banyans and imposing kapoks, The Tree Book reveals the anatomy, behaviors, and beauty of these incredible plants and habitats in detail.Combining natural history and a scientific overview with a wider look at the history, uses, symbolism, and mythology of trees, this book is a new kind of guide to these fascinating organisms.
Customer Reviews
This is a wonderful book with beautiful photos and great information. This is part of the Smithsonian Collection and every one of these books is fantastic. As you can see from my photos, each page is laid out very well, with easy-to-read text, and fantastic pictures. These books are for anyone....from younger children to grandparents.My only suggestion to Amazon when shipping these beautiful books is to wrap them in bubble wrap or some protective material to ensure the books arrive in great condition with no dings or rub marks from just being placed in a box with no protective wrap. Most of these books do arrive in good condition, but a little more protection would be appreciated. THANKS and Cheers!
