The Story of Trees takes the reader on a visual journey from some of the earliest known tree species on our planet to the latest fruit cultivars.

The chosen trees have all had a profound effect on the planet and humankind. Starting with the Ginkgo Biloba, fossils of which date back 270 million years, we learn about how trees came to be integral to the development of our species, and how specific trees have become important religious, political, and cultural symbols.

With beautiful illustrations by Thibaud Herem and fascinating botanical facts and figures, this book will appeal to tree lovers from all over the world.

Grace I. ★★★★★

The timeline from ancient ginkgo species to modern fruit cultivars is exactly what I wanted for my coffee table, and the visual layouts make it easy to jump between entries. My only complaint is that it's so heavy I can't comfortably read it in bed.

Samuel T. ★★★★★

I’ve been flipping through it every night since it arrived, and the way it traces species from ancient times to modern fruit cultivars makes you feel like you’re walking through a living timeline. The illustrations are so detailed I caught myself staring at one page for ten minutes.

Owen O. ★★★★★

This book is a beautiful visual journey—I flipped through it twice before even reading the text. The way it moves from ancient species to modern fruit cultivars, with each tree’s story tied to its impact on us, makes it more than just an architecture coffee-table piece.
