About this product
Product Information
A beautifully illustrated book celebrating the significance of trees throughout history and across the globe, looking at their place in nature, fiction, belief and art. Trees - actual, mythical and metaphorical - are at the heart of mankind's relationship with the natural and supernatural world, a relationship that serves as a powerful index of both ecological and spiritual well-being. The Tree: Meaning and Myth is beautifully illustrated with an incredible range of art and artefacts offering a wide-ranging cross-cultural approach to the subject. We encounter the Egyptian tree goddess Hathor dispensing sustenance in the afterlife; the mighty oak sacred to Zeus; Adam and Eve alongside the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; the Buddha under the bodhi tree of enlightenment; Rembrandt's celebrated etching The Three Trees; and trees in modern art. Profiles of twenty-five trees arranged alphabetically are complemented by a wonderfully diverse selection of images. A sample of the trees featured include Baobab, Birch, Eucalyptus, Olive, Poplar, Oak, and Cocoa. 200 colour illustrations showcase an incredible range of art and artefacts, from Egyptian wall paintings, to ancient Greek vases and jewellery, Indian temple sculptures, Japanese woodcuts, Indonesian shadow puppets, British watercolours and a twenty-first-century tree of life from Mozambique.

- c***m (123)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent service: ordered late on Sunday, good tracking, delivered by Royal Mail on Wednesday. The book was well wrapped , correct description of condition (good). Low price.
- n***a (36)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI ordered 2 copies and the first arrived very quickly and as described. The invoice stated that the second was being sent separately. I tried tracking but it only referred to the first book. After over a week I contacted them and received an e-mail telling me they didn't have any copies and would refund me. So I've had to access another copy from elsewhere for my son.
- l***g (340)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI have rated this as a positive experience due to the way the seller handled the issue of the book never arriving, and tracking never updating. They replied within the hour to my message, were courteous and efficient. They offered apologies and instantly arranged a refund. Very happy with how this was handled, it can happen that stuff doesn’t make it through the postal system and how it’s handled by seller makes a difference. I would have no hesitation buying from them again.
