Trees are vital without them we simply wouldn't be here. Not only essential, they have been an inspiration throughout our history. In 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 by a collection of images created by some of the world's leading nature photographers.
