Childhood memories of climbing trees evoke thrilling sensations, from the rough trunk to the cool canopy, creating a bond that seems innate. Even as adults, trees captivate us, breaking the monotony of urban landscapes and stunning us with their autumnal transformations. This beautifully illustrated volume celebrates the trees that enrich our lives, focusing on their humble leaves, which serve as their public face. It presents a visually stunning and scientifically engaging guide to six hundred remarkable leaves from around the globe. Each leaf is depicted at actual size and in full color, accompanied by details about the tree's range, distribution, abundance, and habitat. Brief scientific and historical narratives enhance each tree's profile, offering intriguing facts and anecdotes. For instance, the Henry’s Maple from China, named after an Irish doctor, differs significantly from its North American counterparts, showcasing its unique trifoliolate leaves. The Mediterranean Olive, known to live over 1,500 years, sheds its narrow leaves gradually, making way for younger ones. From familiar backyard varieties to towering forest giants, this volume brings the essence of the forest into our homes like never before.
From golden eagles in the Scottish Highlands to Portuguese Man 'o' War jellyfish off the coast of Cornwall, Britain boasts an astonishing array of wildlife and habitat. Explore its extraordinary beauty, diversity and wonder from the comfort of your front room.
