The Life and Love of Trees
\n<\/big><\/p>\n

By Lewis Blackwell<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Coffee table books usually don\u2019t impress me.\u00a0 In the nineties, it seemed like you had to have stacks of them strategically placed around your house to be considered hip.\u00a0 But on moving day, they were the only books I was willing to part with since they were rarely read (and even more rarely dusted!).<\/p>\n

But The Life and Love of Trees is a coffee table book only in name.\u00a0 Yes, it is large and heavy and filled with full-color pictures.\u00a0 But the similarity ends there.\u00a0 \u00a0This is a book that just screams to be opened and touched.<\/p>\n

As a tree person, I love running my hands across the gorgeous images of trees captured in every season, geography and time of day.\u00a0 The image of a tree reflected in water is usually clich\u00e9\u2014but in this book, it feels like something I\u2019ve never seen before.\u00a0 Similarly, the pictures of trees in the early light of morning or surrounded by fog send shivers down my spine rather than evoking memories of other photos I\u2019ve seen just like it.<\/p>\n

Not everyone finds solace in pictures of trees.\u00a0 Some of us prefer cats or furniture or the faces of our fellow human beings.\u00a0 But if trees soothe your soul, this book is surely worth the $40 investment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
