Christina Harrison et al.: Wonderful Trees That Changed the World

I find a tree of all the world's wonders that has contributed so much to the lives of mankind, useful, interesting, dangerous and beautiful! Trees are a precious asset of nature and have been more special to people for many years. This is not because of the beauty and character of the silk tree. Because trees have been central in many ways to the survival of humanity since ancient times. Every tree has its own story. Here, two experts from Kew Royal Gardens have chosen more than 60 species of trees that are associated with us in a special sense, representing most of the major habitats of the world. With a combination of vivid cultures and historical narratives based on a solid scientific basis, the author details the trees of the world. Some of them are familiar to us, but some of them have not been widely known except for habitats. People use wood for architecture and creativity, and they know which trees are delicious in their fruits and seeds, which trees become poison and which ones become medicine. And I also learned what species add color and permanence to human life. For example, good mahogany for wood, a gull with chocolate and pomegranates, a manchill with medicinal properties in melaruca, a scented frankincense tree, and a high - value volume of water are very diverse. Many trees have been objects of worship over the centuries, and have inspired artists and botanists throughout the centuries. The fascinating book was produced in the original collection of Kew's Royal Botanical Gardens, thanks to the role of the illustrated various beautiful wood images.
