Around the World in 80 Trees is one of my most treasured volumes in the rather massive library of tree books that I accumulated over the years that I researched and wrote The Overstory - Richard Powers, Pulitzer Prize winning author

树木是人类最永恒、最多样的伴侣之一。从印度神圣的榕树到黎巴嫩芳香的雪松，它们为我们提供了避难所和灵感——更不用说从阿司匹林到枫糖浆的各种原料了。

在《世界各地的80棵树》一书中，专家乔纳森·德罗里用植物科学阐释了树木在人类生活的每一部分中扮演的角色，从浪漫到遗憾。在这趟旅程中，有柏林的Unter den Linden林荫大道的酸橙树，它让多情的德国人和饥饿的蜜蜂如醉如痴，还有19世纪伦敦最奢华的街道，上面铺满了澳大利亚的桉树，还有加利福尼亚的红木林，在这里，树高耸入云的秘密可以在最细小的水滴中找到。

这些奇怪而真实的故事——充斥着自我木乃伊化的僧侣、爬树的山羊和极具轻微放射性的坚果——都由露西尔·克拉克(Lucille Clerc)为其配图，带领读者踏上一段信息丰富而又美丽的旅程。

Trees are one of humanity's most constant and most varied companions. From India's sacred banyan tree to the fragrant cedar of Lebanon, they offer us sanctuary and inspiration - not to mention the raw materials for everything from aspirin to maple syrup.

In Around the World in 80 Trees, expert Jonathan Drori uses plant science to illuminate how trees play a role in every part of human life, from the romantic to the regrettable. Stops on the trip include the lime trees of Berlin's Unter den Linden boulevard, which intoxicate amorous Germans and hungry bees alike, the swankiest streets in nineteenth-century London, which were paved with Australian eucalyptus wood, and the redwood forests of California, where the secret to the trees' soaring heights can be found in the properties of the tiniest drops of water.

Each of these strange and true tales - populated by self-mummifying monks, tree-climbing goats and ever-so-slightly radioactive nuts - is illustrated by Lucille Clerc, taking the reader on a journey that is as informative as it is beautiful.
