Description
Shrubs of the Gods reveals the history of the American Sequoia and other Great trees, addressing topics such as their etymology and role in the formation of the National Parks System. To some extent, it's also about why Eve ate and apple and not a guava.
Whenever one examines our history and culture, immense trees often take center stage. From the Sequoias of California to the Baobabs of Africa, this book takes an in-depth look at the trees of myth and religion, from the Tree of Life to the Viking world tree, Yggdrasil, and pulls these diverse tales together with wisdom and humor.
This book is the singularity where History, Religion/Mythology and Humor meet.
