Krátky popis
Trees are one of humanity's most constant and most varied
companions. From India's sacred banyan tree to the fragrant cedar
of Lebanon, they offer us sanctuary and inspiration - not to
mention the raw materials for everything from aspirin to maple
syrup. In Around the World in 80 Trees, expert Jonathan Drori uses
plant science to illuminate how trees play a role in every part of
human life, from the romantic to the regrettable.Stops on the trip
include the lime trees of Berlin's Unter den Linden boulevard,
which intoxicate amorous Germans and hungry bees alike, the
swankiest streets in nineteenth-century London, which were paved
with Australian eucalyptus wood, and the redwood forests of
California, where the secret to the trees' soaring heights can be
found in the properties of the tiniest drops of water. Each of
these strange and true tales - populated by self-mummifying monks,
tree-climbing goats and ever-so-slightly radioactive nuts - is
illustrated by Lucille Clerc, taking the reader on a journey that
is as informative as it is beautiful.
