The Tree Book: The Stories, Science, and History of Trees

Product Information

I am really not sure what to write about it. It opened my eyes and gave me a perspective of the conflict that I have not seen (or maybe chose not to see). I won't say that it changed my perspective completely but it did raise allot of questions about the history of my country and the role of the Palestinians. Or to be more precise the role of the Zionist movement in the situation of the Palestinians.

There was, for me at least, a before and an after, a world in which I hadn’t read it, and one in which I had. Its scope is like that of a Russian novel, but it is the rigorous way in which Solomon applies his scientific research to the human stories he tells that makes this book a masterpiece. DK Publishing's 2022 The Tree Book: The Stories, Science, and History of Trees is with regard to what is textually being featured pretty darn perfect as a general but still sufficiently extensive introduction, covering the specific scientific facts regarding trees (from the evolution of trees to how trees work, as well as providing relevant details on a large number of both non flowering and flowering trees, separated respectively into two main sections).

Let DK plant the seed of curiosity with this fantastic forest book, and watch as it blossoms into a life-long love of ecology, proving the ideal gift for naturalists or those with a soft spot for nature photography. Combining natural history and a scientific overview with a wider look at the history, uses, symbolism, and mythology of trees, this book is a new kind of guide to these fascinating organisms.

As a heartbroken Kostas ineffectually circles his quiet teenager, Aunt Meryem arrives with two suitcases emblazoned with pictures of Marilyn Monroe and as many recipes as aphorisms, plaiting and replaiting her hair and never knowing when to mind her business. Every culture has an auntie like her. “‘Signs of the Apocalypse,’ mutters Meryem, turning off the TV. ‘It’s climate change,’ says Ada, without lifting her gaze from her phone.” She is a wonderful counterpoint to Ada’s teenage superiority, and the women eventually come to mirror each other in their vulnerability at a time of change. “‘I blame the menopause,’ says Meryem. ‘I was always tidy and organised … I don’t want to clean up any more.’” I read an excerpt from a Palestinian Arab appeal of 1946 in which the Arab Office submitted appeals to the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry. Part of their complaint was that the Jewish immigrants had greater knowledge and skills with modern economic techniques, leading them to economic mastery of the area. The appeal asked not only for the rights of the indigenous inhabitants but also for the preservation of the traditional character of the country. Then one-by-one, all of the others followed and soon, all seven of them, stood in the curious land.” And what do you think they saw when they got there? Well the great thing is, you don't have to guess, because the writer, Enid Blyton, Asplund Carlsson, Maj; Pramling, Ingrid; Wen, Qiufeng; Izumi, Chise (1996).
