{"product_id":"oak-from-seed-to-ancient-tree","title":"Oak: From Seed to Ancient Tree","description":"The oak tree is one of nature's most majestic creations, sacred to Zeus and Thor, capable of growing to a tremendous size and living for hundreds of years. It is also an ecosystem unto itself, sheltering and nourishing countless species of birds, mammals, insects, plants, and fungi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this breathtaking volume, acclaimed tree portraitist Beth Moon, photographer of the best-selling \u003cem\u003eAncient Trees: Portraits of Time\u003c\/em\u003e, pays tribute to the oak. She presents three rich and interconnected series of images: First, the ancient oaks of the United Kingdom and Europe, gnarled and knobby giants that have survived through the centuries in parks, preserves, and private estates. Second, the sprawling live oaks of the American South, often planted in monumental allées, or canopied avenues. And third, acorns caught in the moment of sprouting, each unfolding in its own pattern, revealing the promise of new life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An essay on the natural history of oaks by Todd Forrest of the New York Botanical Garden, as well as a poetic text by Moon tracing the life cycle of the oak, complement the gorgeous hand-tinted photographs. \u003cem\u003eOak: From Seed to Ancient Tree\u003c\/em\u003e will be treasured by all nature lovers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0789215187\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780789215185\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Moon, Beth, Forrest, Todd, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Abbeville Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abbeville Press","offers":[{"title":"HardCover (Oct 2025)","offer_id":45658661322949,"sku":"9780789215185","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780789215185.jpg?v=1768902230","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/oak-from-seed-to-ancient-tree","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
