MEETINGS WITH REMARKABLE TREES BY THOMAS PAKENHAM

MEETINGS WITH REMARKABLE TREES BY THOMAS PAKENHAM. HARDCOVER, FULLY INTACT DUST JACKET, 191 PAGES, NO INSCRIPTIONS OR NAMES, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

With this astonishing collection, Thomas Pakenham produced a new kind of tree book. The arrangement owes little to conventional botany. The sixty trees are grouped according to their own strong personalities: Natives, Travellers, Shrines, Fantasies and Survivors. From the ancient native trees, many of which are huge and immeasurably old, to the exotic newcomers from Europe, the East and North America, MEETINGS WITH REMARKABLE TREES captures the history and beauty of these entrancing living structures. Common to all these trees is their power to inspire awe and wonder.
