<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In a handsome paperback volume with flaps, Pakenham embarks on a five-year odyssey to most of the temperate and tropical regions of the world to photograph 60 trees of remarkable personality and presence.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The publication of <em>Remarkable Trees of the World</em> took American audiences by storm. Thomas Pakenham embarks on a five-year odyssey to most of the temperate and tropical regions of the world to photograph sixty trees of remarkable personality and presence: Dwarfs, Giants, Monuments, and Aliens; the lovingly tended midgets of Japan; the enormous strangler from India; and the 4,700-year Old Methusalehs. American readers will be fascinated by Pakenham's first examination of North American trees, including the towering Redwoods of Sequoia and Yosemite, the gaunt Joshua Trees of Death Valley and the Bristlecone pines discovered in California's White Mountains.<br /><br /> Many of these trees were already famous--champions by girth, height, volume or age--while others had never previously been caught by the camera. Pakenham's five-year odyssey, sweating it out with a 30 pound Linhof camera and tripod, took him to most of the temperate and many of the tropical regions of the world. Although North American trees dominate this book, Pakenham also trekked to remote regions in Mexico, all over Europe, parts of Asia including Japan, northern and southern Africa, Madagascar, Australia and New Zealand.<br /><br /><em>Remarkable Trees of the World</em> is a lavish work that will be treasured for generations by all those who marvel at nature.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Informative and inspiring.-- "American Gardener"<br><br>Spectacular...the specimens photographed here are surpassingly bizarre and varied....[An] astonishing collection.--Janet Maslin "New York Times"<br>
