La 4e de couverture indique : "Découvrez les facettes les plus étonnantes de l'histoire et de la biologie des arbres. Les arbres sont au coeur de nos préoccupations écologiques et scientifiques actuelles : piliers de la vie sur Terre, ils nous fascinent et nous attirent. "L'arbre dans tous ses états" propose de faire le point sur toutes les connaissances nouvelles - génétiques, biologiques ou culturelles - à travers une promenade parmi les sujets les plus remarquables, qu'ils soient très discrets ou véritables coups de coeur dans nos paysages. Des plus anciens aux plus grands, des plus solitaires aux plus envahissants, des plus majestueux aux plus tordus, les arbres surprennent par leurs pouvoirs insoupçonnés, leurs stratégies de survie ou leur incroyable témérité. Les arbres présentés, pour la plupart situés en France, sont localisés afin de les retrouver facilement "sur le terrain". Au fil de l'ouvrage, le mot "état" sert de guide au lecteur, comme un fil conducteur feuillu et branché."

In a beautiful tribute to the natural heritage of the Lone Star State, photographer Ralph Yznaga celebrates the strong connections between Texans and their trees.

In this unprecedented effort to gather and share knowledge of the Native American practice of creating, designating, and making use of marker trees, an arborist, an anthropologist, and a Comanche tribal officer have merged their wisdom, research, and years of personal experience to create Comanche Marker Trees of Texas. A genuine marker tree is a rare find-only six of these natural and cultural treasures have been officially documented in Texas and recognized by the Comanche Nation. The latter third of the book highlights the characteristics of these six marker trees and gives an up-to-date history of each, displaying beautiful photographs of these long-standing, misshapen, controversial symbols that have withstood the tests of time and human activity. Thoroughly researched and richly illustrated with maps, drawings, and photographs of trees, this book offers a close look at the unique cultural significance of these living witnesses to our history and provides detailed guidelines on how to recognize, research, and report potential marker tree candidates.
