Maybe it's the ethereal way that light filters through the leaves of a forest, or the rustic beauty of a wooded ecosystem, or simply the natural grandeur of a towering tree. Whatever the explanation, forests and trees have long inspired near-spiritual reverence, and their increasing rarity has only served to heighten their mystique. In Mythic Woods, Jonathan Roberts has profiled fifteen of the world's most distinctive, historical, and spectacular forests with stunning photographs and informative, eloquent prose. Journey with him to the Cloud Forests of the Andes, to the Baobab Woods of Madagascar, or to the Petrified Forest of Arizona—among other exotic destinations—and celebrate these natural wonders.
