It’s hard to look at these towering plants without sharing the same love Drori and Clerc have clearly poured into Around the World in 80 Trees. * Jack Wallington, The Telegraph *Around the World in 80 Trees is one of my most treasured volumes in the rather massive library of tree books that I accumulated over the years that I researched and wrote The Overstory – Richard Powers, Pulitzer Prize winning author
