Trees of Life

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Max Adams profiles the 80 species of tree he considers the most important and celebrates the richness of our relationship with them. Beautifully illustrated with photographs and botanical drawings, his comprehensive volume looks at those supplying timber, food and medicines, but also ‘trees for the planet’ such as the Southeast Asian moringa, whose seeds can purify water, and the mangroves that protect coastal communities from tidal surges.
