There are about 3 trillion trees on our planet — approximately 400 for every inhabitant of Earth. Avocado and olive, bakaut and quandong, hazel and nutmeg, yew and dracaena, gliricidia and mulberry, sea buckthorn and sesbania… These amazing plants provide... us with wood and other valuable materials, yield edible fruits, nuts, and spices, and from them we obtain dyes, essential oils, and medicines. Max Adams discusses 80 species of trees that have played the most important role in human history, supplying each section of the book with magnificent photographs, works by botanical illustrators, and paintings by great artists.
«I celebrate the rich diversity of our connections with forests and trees, and I hope my book will inspire readers to further explore these life-giving donors on which we so depend, and the communities of people who value and protect the natural treasures entrusted to our care». (Max Adams)
