OverviewIn this wildly rich memoir, a director at some of the world's finest botanic gardens - Sydney, Kew and Melbourne - suggests such places are a cure for the world's ills. Tim Entwisle believes these sanctuaries can address the key threats of our time, such as climate change and plant extinction, while simultaneously serving up gorgeous landscapes and offering a balm to the weary human spirit. Evergreen reveals the noisy soundtrack to Tim Entwisle's life, why he prefers nature found kerbside rather than in the wild, and how he comes to have an alga (seaweed) named after him. Above all, it's an ode to the powerful mix of nature, science and culture. *Ebook available through all major etailers* Full Product DetailsAuthor: Tim EntwislePublisher: Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd Imprint: Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd Dimensions: Width: 15.30cm , Height: 2.80cm , Length: 23.30cm Weight: 0.443kg ISBN: 9781760762254ISBN 10: 1760762253 Pages: 360 Publication Date: 30 August 2022 Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
