DESCRIPTION:Join us as Smithsonian Horticulturalist Matthew Fleming\, guides us through the secret world of trees as is revealed in the beautiful and absorbing guide to the giants of the plant world— The Tree Book: The Stories\, Science\, and History of Trees. \nCombining natural history and a scientific overview with a wider look at the history\, uses\, symbolism\, and mythology of trees\, this book is a new kind of guide to these fascinating organisms. Used for shelter\, tools\, fuel\, and food\, they also help supply the atmosphere with oxygen and form astonishingly diverse ecosystems\, as well as some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes. Now the intricate world of leafy woodlands and abundant rainforests is revealed\, exploring their key scientific traits and their ecological importance\, as well as their enduring significance in human history and culture. The Tree Book reveals the anatomy\, behaviors\, and beauty of these incredible plants and habitats in detail. \nYou can register for this free\, live\, online talk here. \nThis is one of a series of free\, live-streamed author talks made possible through the Library’s partnership with Library Speakers Consortium (LSC). You can learn more about upcoming presentations on our LSC microsite\, as well as watch recordings of presentations that you were unable to attend live. \nAbout the Author: Matthew Fleming has been a horticulturist at the Smithsonian Gardens Greenhouse Facility in Suitland\, Maryland since 2010.
