Trees

A book to open when you’d rather be wandering through the woods. Trees brings together Art Wolfe’s photographs of individual trees and entire forests across six continents, inviting you to slow down and take a closer look.

Alongside the images, author Gregory McNamee explores the myths, cultures, and traditions that connect people with trees. From the Biblical Tree of Life to the Native American Tree of Peace, the book traces their place in human culture and spirituality, including Buddhist, Hindu, Native American, and Aboriginal traditions, with roots reaching back before written records.

An introduction by renowned ethnobotanist Wade Davis opens this tribute to a relationship that stretches through our past, present, and future. Leave it on the coffee table for a few quiet pages with your morning cup, or give it to someone who’s always happiest under a canopy of leaves.
