The Wisdom of Trees by Max Adams

Trees are marvels of nature, still-standing giants of sometimes extraordinary longevity. In a beautifully written sequence of essays, anecdotes and profiles of Britain's best-loved species from yew to Scots pine, Max Adams explores both the amazing biology of trees and humanity's relationship with woods and forests across the centuries. Embellished with images from John Evelyn's classic Sylva (1664), this will delight anyone who cares about the natural world and our interaction with it.
