Recenzii
'This lavish and soulful (now that's an excellent pairing!) book will have you dreaming of strawberry trees and dove trees and fringe trees. "--New York Times Book Review "The equivalent of a course in arboriculture for the amateur gardener and landscape professional."--Washington Post Book World Combining gorgeous photography with friendly, authoritative writing...A coffeetable book that will actually be read."--Martha Stewart Living "Beautifully illustrated - a magnificent magnolia, romantic plane trees in Languedoc, larches in the Dolomites. Informative and opinionated text by Johnson... is just as enjoyable:"--Shelf Awareness "Not just an excellent research resource but a breathtakingly beautiful tribute. And what a wide variety of trees! And what splendid global examples!"--Toronto Globe & Mail
Descriere
"[Johnson] has traveled widely and delved deeply in quest of trees and tree lore, and he writes without prejudice or inhibition, eager to share his vivid enjoyment and his remarkable understanding."--Sir George Taylor, former Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens.
