   Trees (5) No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. bought in Mendocino (  )  Overgaard | Nov 23, 2019 |  An excellent dip in and out book, well illustrated and with plenty of unusual bits of information, both historical and horticultural. (  ) Skyehighmileage | Dec 9, 2009 | This coffee table book is true to its title containing photos, text, and history of some of the largest, oldest, and oddest trees in Great Britain and Ireland. I’ve actually seen some including the yew tree in Muckross Abbey of Killarney National Park. My favorite is the world’s largest hedge at Meikleour near Perth in Scotland. Over 100 feet high, a quarter of a mile long and complete with it’s own legend from the Jacobite rebellion. I’d like take a trip with this book to visit all these trees. (  ) Othemts | Jun 26, 2008 | Wonderful, soothing, humbling. Great rainy day book to leaf (no pun intended!) through. ( )1  fanakapan | Apr 3, 2007 | Absolutely breathtaking. For those of us in love with trees, what better book to browse through on a rainy day. ( )1 VioletDelirium | Dec 23, 2006 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Thomas Pakenham's bestselling book of tree portraits. With this astonishing collection of tree portraits, Thomas Pakenham produced a new kind of tree book. The arrangement owed little to conventional botany. The sixty trees were 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. This is a lovingly researched book, beautifully illustrated with colour photographs, engravings and maps - a moving testimonial to the Earth`s largest and oldest living structures.
