"...engrossing and visually appealing...intended as a celebration of some of the world's oldest living trees....Trees from all around the world are represented...Parker's many beautiful, full-color images contribute a great deal, but what makes this book especially interesting is a discussion of the roles these trees have played through the ages in human religions, myths, economies, and everyday life....should appeal to a wide audience and is recommended for public, school, and undergraduate college libraries."--Library Journal.
