Sylvan Cities: An Urban Tree Guide Babbs Helen
"Clever, pretty, fun and informative--what more can a reader ask for?" --Sara Maitland, author, Gossip From the ForestWe're surrounded in cities by trees, quiet colossuses that most of us don't know by name. It's certainly possible to appreciate a tree for its beauty, its shade, and its shelter without knowing whether it's an alder, an elder, a lime, or a beech. Does that matter?
As well as being an illustrated guide that will help you identify some of the species you see around town every day, Sylvan City is also a potted-journey through our cities' woody places and a literary But look harder, and we begin to see the beauty beneath the bark--the tales of how trees are integral to medicine and art as they are furniture and firewood; the stories of why wild figs grow on the banks of Sheffield's rivers and why the ash tree is touched with magic and mischief.
