Trees. As the life of man and wood, interwoven with each other. Khase A.

Trees are much more ancient than a person: they have existed for hundreds of millions of years. Long before the last ice age, overtaken Europe, the earth here was covered with violently overgrown forests. If there were no trees, the human clan could not survive. Andreas Khase talks about the twenty -six -important types of trees that are most important for human history and culture, gives a biological description of their parts, writes about methods of seed spread, about the use of wood and other gifts of trees in human economic activity, about the etymology of some names, as well as about beliefs, associated with trees.

“Trees not only give us excellent fruits, not only their leaves, flowers and roots serve us - without them we would not have tools, houses, fences, bridges, books and many other things. Trees protect people from unpredictable natural phenomena, from frost and heat, from floods and droughts. Without trees, we would be nothing, we need them as air, therefore it is not surprising that on all continents, in all civilizations, all peoples in the great myths associated with the history of mankind, it is always said about a tree. ” (Andreas Khase)
