[Critique] “Arboreta. A fascinating journey to the heart of the giants”, Collectif

“The beauty of this book will make you want to meet the trees for real soon, a big thank you attached to the heart”, affirms, with reason, Vincent Karche, forester and tenor, in the preface toArboreta. A fascinating journey to the heart of the giantswhich adds to the splendid collection that includes Flora (2019), Fauna (2020) and Oceana (2021). And to better protect these giants who act as lungs for the planet, dare we add… Although it turns out to be less colorful than the previous books and its cover page adorned with a magnificent canopy in the colors of autumn, this book group nonetheless remains just as fascinating and instructive. While we deepen our knowledge of trees, their leaves, their fruits, their roots, as well as the birds, animals and other species that depend on them, we gorge ourselves on the beauty of the many photos and illustrations, which reveal the different species — over 90! — sometimes majestic, sometimes mythical.
