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.

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.
