<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Art Wolfe's immersive photos capture the wonder humans have felt about trees for millennia.</b> <p/>From the biblical Tree of Life to the Native American Tree of Peace, trees have played an archetypal role in human culture and spirituality since time immemorial. An integral part of a variety of faiths--from Buddhism and Hinduism to Native American and aboriginal religions--trees were venerated long before any written historical records existed. <p/>Through the vivid images of legendary photographer Art Wolfe, <i>Trees</i> focuses on both individual specimens and entire forests, and offers a sweeping yet intimate look at an arboreal world that spans six continents. Author Gregory McNamee weaves a diverse and global account of the myths, cultures, and traditions that convey the long-standing symbiosis between trees and humans, and renowned ethnobotanist Wade Davis anchors the text with a penetrating introduction. Humans have always shared this planet with trees, and <i>Trees </i>by Art Wolfe is a breathtaking journey through and homage to that relationship and its past, present, and future.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>"Trees </i>is an example of Wolfe's compositional mastery...The result of Wolfe's work is a stunning collection of color photographs lending credence to that certain sacredness that exists in the forest and nowhere else."-- "The Sierra Club"<br><br>"Only one word can describe this brilliantly illustrated tome - tree-mendous."-- "Book Marque"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Award-winning photographer <b>Art Wolfe</b> has worked on every continent and in hundreds of locations over his forty-year career.
