Description
For the Love of Trees is a beautiful celebration of trees and our connection with them.Combining amazing photographic portraits of people and trees with powerful personaltestimonies, it tells stories of unique relationships with favourite trees.There are stories of people who have fought for trees, put down roots by plantingthem; found solace among them during times of grief; fallen in love through them; feltuplifted or relieved from stress or anxiety in their presence; known the way a windowout on a tree can help during times of illness; memorialised loved ones through them;protected them and sought to understand them.These are stories of why trees have mattered to individuals, and how they haveimpacted on the lives of people whose own span, particularly in the case of older trees,is just a fraction of rings in their existence.Above all, this is a book about relationships – between humans and these majestic,long-living plants – at this time of climate emergency. For the Love of Trees is bothunique and timely, as we look to find a new balance between humanity and our planet.
