Trees are one of Earth's oldest life forms; silent witnesses to human
evolution and the passing of time. Many people today are unaware of
their significance in Earth's ecology, their medicinal and nutritional
properties, or the veneration bestowed on them by ancient peoples.
This book captures all these elements in an inspiring holistic
appraisal. Hageneder looks in detail at 24 of Europe and North America's
best-loved trees: their physical characteristics, their healing powers,
the traditions associated with them and how they have inspired human
beings through the ages.
Beautifully illustrated with black and white photographs and
illustrations.
