Earth's lungs are green: a green as intense as mountainwoods, emerald like South American pluvial forests butalso bluish like the conifers of Northern Europe. Ob-served from the sky, forests look like colourful clouds, asintricate as a carpet's weft; if observed from the earth,they are the kingdom of fantasy, dreams and life. Forestsare like shelters and mothers' wombs for tribes who livewithin them and found everything they need to survive:wood to warm up, food to appease hunger and safeplaces against rainy and hot weather. This evocative pic-ture book reveals why forests have been a source of in-spiration to humankind throughout the ages. The im-ages within the book is sure to be appreciated by naturelovers, who will feel inspired to cherish and protect thelife-sustaining glory of all trees.
