"Beautiful, useful, inspirational" BBC Wildlife Book of the Month
"A delight on every page" Evening Standard
In 1664, the horticulturist and diarist John Evelyn wroteSylva, the first comprehensive study of British trees. It was also the world''s earliest forestry book, and the first book ever published by the Royal Society. Evelyn''s elegant prose has a lot to tell us today, but the world has changed dramatically since his day. Now authors Gabriel Hemery and Sarah Simblet, taking inspiration from the original work, have masterfully created a contemporary version –The New Sylva. The result is a fabulous resource that describes all of the most important species of tree that populate our landscape.
Silvologist Gabriel Hemery explains what trees reallymean to us culturally, environmentally and economically in the first part of the book. These chapters are followed by forty-four detailed tree portrait sections that describe the history and the features of trees such as oak, elm, beech, hornbeam, willow, fir, pine, juniper, plane, apple and pear.
The pages ofThe New Sylva are brought to life with truly breathtaking artwork from artist and co-author Sarah Simblet, who captures the delicacy, strength and beauty of the trees through the seasons in 200 exquisite drawings.
With an interplay of black and red type on creamy paperThe New Sylva recalls all the charm of traditional bookmaking. And at a moment when it is vitally important for us to rediscover how to treasure our trees, the time for this visionary, beautiful book is now.
This edition comes with illustrated endpapers and a ribbon marker.
