Signed and inscribed by author on title page First Edition with full number line 4to size maroon clothbound hardcover with dust jacket; 177 heavyweight glossy pages with color illustrations throughout From jacket: "Any book about trees can't help but be a book about people," writes (the author), and so his book is about our connection to the magnificence, the transcendence, and the essential nature of trees. Throughout human history, they have served as shelter and as symbol. And today, more than ever, our destiny is theirs. (This book) weaves together prose, poetry and art in a unique exploration of our relationship with these plants, from the billowy yet delicate black cherry to the majestic white oak. Each painting subtly points to a range of historical and mythological symbols, reminding us of the "untouchable" the sacred, within each of us."
