Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. From the photographer of Ancient Trees, a tribute to the best-loved tree of all: the oak. The oak: One of nature's most majestic creations, sacred to Zeus and Thor, capable of living for a thousand years. But also a familiar friend, the landmark of childhood backyards and parks, host to treehouses and swings, provider of welcome shade. In this beautiful volume, published in the same oversize square format as her best seller Ancient Trees, America's foremost tree portraitist, Beth Moon, pays tribute to the oak. She captures every stage of its life cycle, from the acorn to the seedling to the sapling. Most of her hand-tinted full-page photographs, however, are devoted to mature oaks of the United States and the United Kingdom-both anonymous specimens whose gnarled, leafy personalities reveal themselves to her sensitive eye and famous trees with their own names and recorded histories stretching back centuries. A poetic text by the photographer traces the life cycle of the oak, and an essay illuminates the natural and cultural history of the genus Quercus. This book will be a must for all tree lovers, and anyone who has an oak in their yard.

Hardback. Etat : New. The oak tree is one of nature's most majestic creations, sacred to Zeus and Thor, capable of growing to a tremendous size and living for hundreds of years. It is also an ecosystem unto itself, sheltering and nourishing countless species of birds, mammals, insects, plants, and fungi.In this breathtaking volume, acclaimed tree portraitist Beth Moon, photographer of the best-selling Ancient Trees: Portraits of Time, pays tribute to the oak. She presents three rich and interconnected series of images: First, the ancient oaks of the United Kingdom and Europe, gnarled and knobby giants that have survived through the centuries in parks, preserves, and private estates. Second, the sprawling live oaks of the American South, often planted in monumental allées, or canopied avenues. And third, acorns caught in the moment of sprouting, each unfolding in its own pattern, revealing the promise of new life. An essay on the natural history of oaks by Todd Forrest of the New York Botanical Garden, as well as a poetic text by Moon tracing the life cycle of the oak, complement the gorgeous hand-tinted photographs. Oak: From Seed to Ancient Tree will be treasured by all nature lovers. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9780789215185
