Iconic Trees of India 75 Natural Wonders
Seller: My DuNuggets Store, Sanford, FL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. Iconic Trees of India: 75 Natural Wonders, written by S. Natesh and published by Roli Books in 2025, profiles seventy-five of India's most storied trees, each one documented for its historical, cultural, and ecological significance. Natesh spent over a decade traveling to remote and far-flung locations across India to research and record these trees firsthand, and that sustained fieldwork shows in the depth and specificity of each entry. The book moves across India's remarkable regional diversity - a lone Giant Sequoia in Kashmir described as the loneliest tree in the country, a peepal near Jabalpur carrying a dark history, a banyan in Hoskote that hosts millions of bees - connecting individual trees to the communities, folklore, and socio-political narratives that have grown up around them. Original watercolors complement the text throughout, giving the book a visual dimension alongside the natural history and cultural commentary. With climate change placing trees at the center of urgent ecological conversation, the book grounds that broader discussion in the specific and the storied. At 256 pages, it is written in English and sized to carry on the road - the author suggests it as a travel companion for anyone seeking out these living landmarks of India's ecological heritage.
