Product Description
Review
Acres of bluebells carpet a shimmering springtime wood; caterpillars nibble a leaf with the symmetry of synchronised swimmers...This lavish large-format book features the world's leading photographers and every kind of tree, from the giant sequoias of California to the bonsai of Japan, and even our own humble acorn.

Format:Hardcover
This book is for tree-lovers, not tree-spotters. I did not want another book on recognising a tree - but to get this one that really inquires into our relationship with trees is both inspiring and vital. It wears its learning and expertise lightly, while including award-standard images by outstanding photographers. The whole is consistently at a high quality, a really visual experience supported by fascinating stories and information that give new insight into just how extraordinary trees are. All this is put together by a writer/editor who combines a passion for the subject with deep expertise in writing and putting together books. The result is a gorgeous walk around the trees of the world.

I have no idea what Luke is talking about. This book is beautiful collection of images shot by "professionals" that spend their lives trying to make this kind of work. I can say this as a professional photographer with 28 years making my living from shooting images. I must stress I was not involved with this book but take exception to it being marginalized.

Not bad but too big a format for some of its material. Some of the photographs cannot really take being enlarged to this size. Read more

An over-share of an interminable stream of consciousness...
Some of the photographs in this book are lovely, but they are completely ruined by the excruciatingly pretentious text. Read more

Simply Gorgeous
I fell in love with this book when I saw it on a friend's coffee table. I was drawn in by the cover and spent two hours flicking through the pages. Read more

Very disappointing
This is not a good book. The photographs are amateurish and boring- they totally fail to capture the majesty of trees in any sense. Read more
