18 Dec Trees of Life

Heritage Trees of Penang – is very close to our hearts and it’s been absent too long from our shelves. But we’ve located a cache of them and now they’re waiting for you to discover. Simon Gardner and Lai Ee May’s text offers an accessible scientific, historical, social and cultural understanding of the significance of trees to the island; Pindar Gardner painted 72 original watercolours; Simon shot over a thousand luminous photographs to illustrate the trees; Cecilia Mak fashioned a beautiful book design; and we (Impress Creative & Editorial) helped shape the whole. David Hockney once said: “Like people, trees are all individuals”. And this book is a testament to the truth of that.
