Krátky popis
A celebration of the beauty, diversity, importance and sheer wonder
of the most remarkable trees, with exquisite illustrations from the
incomparable collections of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. More
than 60,000 species of trees are found in an amazing variety of
forms, sizes and habitats. Every tree has its own story and here
are over 60, selected for their particular resonance and connection
with humankind and representing most of the world’s major zones and
ecologies.In this compact edition, portraits that combine vivid
cultural and historical narrative with a firm scientific grounding,
the authors reveal the details of trees from around the world, both
familiar and strange. We use timbers for building and creating,
have discovered which tree fruits and seeds taste delicious, and
which can kill or cure us, and which species can add colour and
spirituality to our lives – from the timber of mahogany to the
delights of chocolate and pomegranate, from the medicinal tea tree
to the deadly manchineel, and from fragrant frankincense to the
highly prized dragon’s blood tree. Artists and botanists alike have
been inspired by trees for centuries, and a varied and beautiful
range of images from the unrivalled archive at Kew illustrate the
stories, to create this enlightening and enchanting book.
