In this book, Drori journeys through time and across cultures, using up-to-date plant science to demonstrate how trees play a role in every part of human life. Ranging from the romantic to the regrettable, some of the stories illuminate the surprising historical relationship between people and seemingly familiar species, like the elm and the beech. Others showcase the exotic and the extraordinary, such as tge exploding sandbox tree and the unique metal-hoarding tree of Polynesia.
