Welcome on an enchanting journey where we meet trees in all their forms. This book is a loving tribute to nature's silent guardians and an invitation to delve into the meaning and functions of trees. Ten authors write here about trees from different cultural-historical and contemporary perspectives. They describe, among other things, the role of trees in folk medicine, for naming places and people and in urban planning, their importance as a material resource in the economy of ancient times, as raw material for handicrafts and as emergency food.
