Around the World in 80 Trees

Embark on an extraordinary botanical world tour from the forests of China to Madagascar, from the high Andes to Namibian deserts. Jonathan Drori CBE - much-loved public speaker, board member of both the Oxford and Cambridge Botanic Gardens, and former Trustee of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and The Eden Project - will celebrate the delightful, poignant and occasionally daft relationships that people have with plants. He explores the history, folklore and science of humble mosses and the grandest trees, from aphrodisiacs and psychedelics, to freakish customs with pumpkins and gourds. 

Jonathan's Around the World in 80 Trees and Around the World in 80 Plants are bestsellers in many languages and likely to be followed by the recently published first book for children, The Stuff That Stuff Is Made Of (The Things We Make With Plants).
