A journey through the forests of our world
There are forests almost everywhere in the world. The Museum of Trees takes you on a journey through the continents: from the deciduous and coniferous forests of Europe, America and Asia to the mallee forests of Australia to the tropical dry and rain forests in Africa and Asia, Tony Kirkham presents the different habitats and characteristics of over 150 trees. Accompanied by Katie Scott's detailed illustrations, the former head of the Aboretum at the Royal Botanical Gardens (Kew) explains in well-founded texts how trees eat, what leaves and fruit they bear, how they communicate with each other, why they are so important to people and much more more.
