Long description:
Deciduous trees provide a beautiful progression of leaf colours as the seasons pass. Munsell Trees: A Season of Leaves and Colours by Mark D. Fairchild traces the journey of twenty-four trees through a growing season and includes striking transilluminated images of regularly collected leaves, colour analyses of the leaves, and layouts that illustrate progression of colour through the season as well as compare all twenty-four trees at points along the way. The book includes chapters on place (Mendon Ponds Park), time (progression of seasons), science (nature of trees and Munsell's colour system), and the inspiration of Henry David Thoreau through his dedicated and detailed journals and his exceptionally keen abilities to observe the natural world and share through inspirational writing. Additionally, it includes an appendix with all the technical details of the project. May the uniquely beautiful photographs inspire you to think more about the natural world and take the time to appreciate the trees and what they do for us.
