Every tree has its own story and here are over 60, selected for their particular resonance and connection with humankind and representing most of the worlds major zones and ecologies. In portraits that combine vivid cultural and historical narrative with a firm scientific grounding, the authors reveal the details of trees from around the world, both familiar and strange.
