Spanning 3,500 years of art, science, culture, and history, Tree: Exploring the Arboreal World\u00a0<\/em>surveys the awe-inspiring beauty and romance of trees. Forthcoming from Phaidon, the volume includes more than 300 illustrations ranging from ancient wall paintings and botanical illustrations to captivating photography and multimedia work by today’s leading artists.<\/p>\n

Tree\u00a0<\/em>takes an expansive approach to the topic, introducing scientific and historical inquiry alongside artistic expression and documentation of the planet’s wide variety of species. From a meticulous diorama of an overgrown library by Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber<\/a> and patinated metalwork by Shota Suzuki<\/a> to ancient Egyptian tomb paintings and stunning dragon blood trees<\/a> photographed by Beth Moon<\/a>, the book celebrates the myriad ways we are interconnected with trees.<\/p>\n
