| Product Description |
The publication of Remarkable Trees of the World took American audiences by storm. Now in a handsome paperback volume with flaps, Thomas Pakenham embarks on a five-year odyssey to most of the temperate and tropical regions of the world to photograph sixty trees of remarkable personality and presence: dwarfs, giants, monuments, and aliens; the lovingly tended miniatures of Japan; the enormous strangler from India; and the 4,700-year-old “Old Methusalehs.”
American readers will be fascinated by Pakenham’s first examination of North American trees, including the towering redwoods of Sequoia and Yosemite, the drooping cypresses in Monterey, the gaunt Joshua trees of Death Valley, and the bristlecone pines discovered in California’s White Mountains. Remarkable Trees of the World is a magnificent work that will be treasured for generations by all those who marvel at the wonders of nature. |
