From the seemingly familiar tomato and dandelion to the eerie mandrake and Spanish moss of Louisiana, each of these stories is full of surprises. Some have a troubling past, while others have ignited human creativity or enabled whole civilizations to flourish. With a colorful cast of characters all brought to life by illustrator Lucille Clerc, this is a botanical journey of beauty and brilliance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eAround the World in 80 Trees\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeautiful to behold and to read - \u003ci\u003eTHE SUNDAY TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn arboreal odyssey - \u003ci\u003eNATURE\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of the most quietly beautiful books of the year - \u003ci\u003eDAILY MAIL\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJonathan Drori's deep-seated love of nature is contagious in this tree-by-tree journey across countries and continents.
