You won't be able to stop staring at this immersive, mesmerizing, expansive guide! Filled with extraordinary illustrations and photography, The Tree Book is much more than a simple identifier: It's also an exploration of how trees function and thrive, complete with scientific trivia (like each tree's classification, appearance, and environmental significance), history (for example, the ginkgo tree is "called the tree of hope since six of them survived the atomic blast in Hiroshima"), and quotes from distinguished sources. What a stunning way to learn about the natural world we live in! (RR)
