In Tree, acclaimed photographer James Balog explores the changing character of the American forest, seeking out superlative trees--the old, the massive, the tall--in whatever landscape they remain. We see immense portraits of sequoias and redwoods as no human has ever viewed them, captured in thousands of tiny frames as the photographer rappels down a neighboring tree. We also see thoughtful portrayals of trees that have survived by sheer hardiness or luck, poised on the edge of northern wilderness, isolated on a golf course, or pardoned by the mark of a forward-thinking logger. With accompanying essays by the photographer, this awe-inspiring volume truly delivers a new vision of American trees.
