The Meaning of Trees: Botany, History,Healing, Lore

This book was more than I had hoped for. The photographs are wonderful and the folklore and history of the trees is fascinating. I also liked the fact that there was a diverse representation of trees from the common to the exotic.

Fantastic All-around book!

Excellent and beautiful book overall - great photos, well-written and the organization is really nice. A must for any tree and nature lovers!

Beautiful Images, Interesting Information

"The Meaning of Trees" is a truely beautiful and interesting work, especially for nature-loving folks like myself. The presentation of information is visually very appealing, as well as mentally stimulating. The book discusses and shares breath-taking photos of almost 60 different species of trees, and dispenses information on each from general characteristics, information and history, to practical uses, natural healing, culture/myth/symbolism, and more. A valuable and attractive addition to anyone's library!
