2.0 out of 5 stars An enticing theme, compelling graphics ... but marred by jumbled exposition, May 26, 2007
By Terry Serres (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This book traces the symbolism of the tree, starting in the Fertile Crescent and migrating to early Europe: tree as symbol of life and of the cosmos, tree as place of physical and spiritual nurture. This attractive volume is chock-full of compelling graphics; however, its presentation of background information and exposition of ideas is glib and jumbled. The reader is left hungering for primary sources and rigorous scholarship.
