The Long, Long LIfe of Trees pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
A lyrical tribute to the diversity of trees, their physical beauty, their special characteristics and uses, and their ever-evolving meanings Since the beginnings of history trees have served humankind in countless useful ways, but our relationship with trees has many dimensions beyond mere practicality. Trees are so entwined with human experience that diverse species have inspired their own stories, myths, songs, poems, paintings, and spiritual meanings. Some have achieved status as religious, cultural, or national symbols. In this beautifully illustrated volume Fiona Stafford offers intimate, detailed explorations of seventeen common trees, from ash and apple to pine, oak, cypress, and willow. The author also pays homage to particular trees, such as the fabled Ankerwyke Yew, under which Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn, and the spectacular cherry trees of Washington, D.C. Stafford discusses practical uses of wood past and present, tree diseases and environmental threats, and trees' potential contributions toward slowing global climate change. Brimming with unusual topics and intriguing facts, this book celebrates trees and their long, long lives as our inspiring and beloved natural companions. (Amazon.co.uk)

評分 評分《那些活了很久很久的树》一书在书名中干脆地点出了树木本身最为纯粹也最具力量的意义——生长。而在具体写到红豆杉、花楸、柏树、冬青、欧山楂等十七种树时,作者开掘了这些漫长的生长过程,细述树木们在自然环境与人类文明的历程中所承载的象征、记忆、文化,探寻它们在生长...
