A wonderful guidebook for anyone studying the natural world, this essential fact book is a great gift and makes a perfect addition to any nature library.
You see, the problem with this book is that I enjoyed it. It was meant to be purely informative but its opened up a desire in me to voyage for trees that will forever be an encumbrance. Does it irk me that I've never seen a Bristlecone Pine? Yes. Can I do something about that? No. Well, why not? I can't go searching random mountains in Nevada for a tree. Why not? Fuck you! Man, I don't know. It's hard, fuck, ugh.
Sin darnos cuenta, moldean nuestro alrededor. No es una cuestión solo de colores, aromas y formas, se trata a fin de cuentas, del hábitat en que nos encontramos. Los árboles son más relevantes de lo que jamás nos detuvimos a pensar y este libro colabora mucho con percatarse de dicha realidad. Entretenido y suficientemente científico para un ignorante como yo, Árboles no puede sino catalogarse como una bella e interesante experiencia al leer y observar.
Not a book with any plot or mystery. Just a factual book about common trees from around the world. I was hoping it would be just North America. I guess I will have to travel now because some of these trees sound awesome.
