Remarkable trees of the world
Thomas Pakenham has now produced four books on 'Remarkable Trees'. They are all beautifully produced with wonderful coloured photographs, but it should be remembered that he is a very talented writer and the text associated with each photograph is well worth absorbing. I have a very full library of conventional books about trees but these by Packenham have given me a new insight into some of the ...

They Just Don't Write them Like This Anymore
Before my review, you have to understand where I'm coming from. At age 5 I was owned by a huge rusty red Collie - Macintosh, in my teens I was owned by a stunning Sable and White Collie - Piney Branch Lindsay Lad, and currently I am owned by a striking, pirate-like tri-color Collie - Captain Jack Sparrow. As a child, I read many of the Terhune books, fell in love with his enchanting writing ...

Astonishing
At 134 pages, Destined for the Throne is not a big book. But it took me nine months to read it, because what it lacks in length it more than makes up for in depth and power. I came across Destined while review-hopping at Amazon. When I finally got around to reading the book I had forgotten why I had bought it. But it didn't take me long to remember. Billy Graham forewords the book by saying ...

Fascinating
I couldn't put down this book. An amazing study of an equally amazing family. To Chernow's credit, the book reveals the multiple facets of the Warburg clan in such an even-handed manner, I never felt the need to gloss over praise or polemics. I enjoyed this book so much, I am now reading his biography of Alexander Hamilton.

A Remarkable Book
This book is high quality from all sorts of perspectives. It is a wonderful "coffee table" book, but it would be such a loss for someone to just leave it there and never "leaf" through it. The pictures are remarkable in the way they capture the trees and surrounding environs with beauty and perspective. The narrative information is also well written. It would be a wonderful book for someone, ...
