The Life & Love of Trees

by Lewis Blackwell

Trees are vitalwithout them we simply wouldn't be here. Not only essential, they have been an inspiration throughout our history. In breathtaking photographs and stories we are taken on a journey from the boreal forest at the edge of the Arctic to the rainforests girdling the planet; from ancient bristlecones to fresh-leaved seedlings; from the charming and familiar to the scary and rare. An elegantly written and highly accessible text is complemented...

Customer Reviews

how amazing this book is

After seeing this book recommended by Ellen DeGeneres, I decided to purchase it as I love trees. I have to say that this was a very good decision. I simply LOVE this book. The photos, the information and the beautiful quotes all add up to a wonderful book that you will keep picking up and reading. If you only buy this book for its awesome photos, then you certainly haven't wasted your money.

STUNNING!

After reading a review of this book, I purchased it as a gift for my best friend who is an artist. I glanced through it before wrapping it to send to her, and almost kept it! I stared mesmerized at each page...the photos are simply stunning. I have never seen anything like this book before! My friend called me after receiving this stammering for words, and told me she had only made it to page 3 before calling me. This book will now be what I give special people in my life as gifts!!

Beautiful photography and thoughtful writing

This is a truly lovely, enjoyable, and inspiring book. The photography is superb. The author compels you to action to take your own steps to combat global warming. You cannot read it and not act.

The Life & Love of Trees

The photography is beautifully presented within design that does not distract from the the most important part of this book. Fabulous photography of trees.

Gorgeous photo book

This book is a beautiful tribute to trees. I bought it primarily for the photographs, which are breathtaking, but I am enjoying the text as well. It is much more informative than I expected, and the photographs are as stunning as I had hoped.
