“A tree is beautiful, but what’s more, it has a right to life; like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees.”
- Anton Chekhov
The older I get, the more I am comforted by trees. So, I was delighted to find A Tree a Day: 365 of the World’s Most Majestic Trees by Amy-Jane Beer on #NetGalley. I just wanted to get my #ARC on and was looking for a great story more than nonfiction. But my tree-hugging, botany-obsessed teenager convinced me to read this, and I’m glad I did. This beautiful book, published by Chronicle Books, is full of gorgeous photography, classical art, poetry, and tree quotes (like the one above) in a page-a-day format. It has renewed my (already considerable) appreciation for trees and even has some interesting stories!
You’ll love trees more after reading this book. If you like coffee table books, pick this one up. If you’re ambivalent about trees, you likely won’t remain so. Every reader will find at least one unknown fact, species, event from history, etc., to love.
“We all travel the Milky Way together, trees and men.”
- John Muir
What balm for my weary (and already sun-parched) soul. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go plant a tree!
Many thanks to @chroniclebooks for making this book available on @netgalley for review.
