The Story of Trees takes the reader on a visual journey of 100 trees, which have all had a profound effect on the planet and humankind. From some of the earliest known tree species on our planet to the latest fruit cultivars, we learn about how specific trees have become important religious, political, and cultural symbols.

Insights
