Remarkable Trees That Changed Our Lives
39.99 €
There are about 3 trillion trees on our planet - about 400 for every person on Earth. Avocado and olive, bacauta and quandong, hazel and nutmeg, yew and dracaena, glyricidia and mulberry, buckthorn and sesbania... These amazing plants provide us with wood and other valuable materials, edible fruits, nuts and spices, and dyes, essential oils and medicines. Max Adams covers the 80 species of trees that have played the most important role in human history, supplying each section of the book with gorgeous photographs, the work of botanical illustrators, and paintings by great artists. "I celebrate the full diversity of our connections to forests and trees, and hope that my book will move readers to learn more about these life-givers on whom we rely so much, and the communities of people who value and protect the natural treasures entrusted to our care." (Max Adams)
