PINE

di MASON LAURA
Editore: REAKTION BOOKS  (2013)

Descrizione

The natural history of pine trees underlines their ability to survive in difficult environments, and their botany still puzzles and intrigues scientists. Their resin provided adhesives, waterproofing agents and medicines before oil derivatives and modern pharmaceuticals were developed. Their wood is ubiquitous, incorporated into buildings, furniture and paper pulp, and their cones fascinate with their complex shapes and provide pine nuts for animals and humans. Pine trees have inspired artists, writers, film-makers and photographers throughout history. A beautifully illustrated book that reveals the many ways in which pine trees have inspired and been utilized by humanity through history, Pine provides a fascinating survey of these rugged, aromatic trees.
