Fiona Stafford is professor of English language and literature, University of Oxford. She is author and presenter of two highly acclaimed series for BBC Radio 3 titled The Meaning of Trees. She lives in Bucks, UK.
A lyrical tribute to the diversity of trees, their physical beauty, their special characteristics and uses, and their ever-evolving meanings Since the beginnings of history trees have served humankind in countless useful ways, but our relationship with trees has many dimensions beyond mere practicality. Trees are so entwined with human experience that diverse species have inspired their own stories, myths, songs, poems, paintings, and spiritual meanings. Some have achieved status as religious, cultural, or national symbols. In this beautifully illustrated volume Fiona Stafford offers intimate, detailed explorations of seventeen common trees, from ash and apple to pine, oak, cypress, and willow. The author also pays homage to particular trees, such as the fabled Ankerwyke Yew, under which Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn, and the spectacular cherry trees of Washington, D.C. Stafford discusses practical uses of wood past and present, tree diseases and environmental threats, and trees' potential contributions toward slowing global climate change. Brimming with unusual topics and intriguing facts, this book celebrates trees and their long, long lives as our inspiring and beloved natural companions. (Amazon.co.uk)

評分《那些活了很久很久的树》一书在书名中干脆地点出了树木本身最为纯粹也最具力量的意义——生长。而在具体写到红豆杉、花楸、柏树、冬青、欧山楂等十七种树时,作者开掘了这些漫长的生长过程,细述树木们在自然环境与人类文明的历程中所承载的象征、记忆、文化,探寻它们在生长...
評分威廉·布莱克观察到:“每个人看到的东西不一样:当一个人感动到流泪的树,在另一个人看来,只是一团挡道的绿色东西”。说得太好了,你希望看到什么,往往意味着你能看到什么。我虽时常为大自然的神力惊叹,但从未注意过身边的树木品种,在阅读的过程中,关于植物的少量记忆才...
評分《那些活了很久的树》,菲奥娜·斯塔福德,北京联合出版。书很漂亮,跟那些树一样的靓丽。比较喜欢博物类的休闲书,比如书里也提到怀特的《塞尔彭自然史,沃尔顿的《钓客清话》。世界上的树有多种,那些活在地球上的大树,历经了地球的亿万年的历史,我们需要通过肉眼去了解它...
