Trees. A life-affirming journey through forests, gardens and parks
Book Description
For the first time in Russian, a unique guide to the world of trees of temperate latitudes, which has become a bestseller among gardeners and plant lovers in many countries. Hugh Johnson, known not only as a wine expert, but also as a gardener and forester — his merits were noted by Queen Elizabeth II herself — with his inherent talent tells about all kinds of coniferous and deciduous trees, about the history of their discovery and about his own experience gained over the years in the forests and arboretums of France and Great Britain. Majestic metasequoia and ancient ginkgo, spectacular magnolias and infinitely diverse flowering trees from the rose family ... More than 600 species of trees are illustrated with hundreds of photographs, paintings and engravings. This imaginary arboretum is complemented by numerous maps and diagrams, a guide to choosing trees, a miniature dictionary of Latin botanical names, a table of annual cycles, tips on planting, care and pruning… This book is as significant for plant lovers as "Wine. Atlas of the World" for wine connoisseurs. A wonderful gift for everyone who admires the diversity of our nature.
