Leaves & Pods [Hardcover]

Warning: open this compact tome to any page and you'll soon be lost in the woods forever. Stunningly detailed scanner-taken photographs are here abetted by a gracefully written text that is both surprisingly snappy and helpful, particularly for non-botanists. Part art book, part nature guidebook, leaves & pods is, like each of its wondrous subjects, perfectly made; hence a thing of beauty.
