'In Search of Remarkable Trees: On Safari in Southern Africa' by Thomas Pakenham combines botanical exploration, travel writing and photography in a search for the region’s most extraordinary trees. Travelling through southern Africa and Madagascar, Pakenham documents ancient giants, unusual species and trees associated with local history, folklore and traditional beliefs. His subjects include Namibia’s quiver trees, magnificent baobabs and South Africa’s jacarandas, each accompanied by engaging observations on its natural history and cultural significance. Featuring Pakenham’s own colour photographs and lively accounts of his adventures, this beautifully illustrated volume offers a distinctive perspective on the botanical and cultural heritage of southern Africa. Published by Jonathan Ball in 2007, it will appeal to tree enthusiasts, naturalists, photographers and collectors of African natural history books.
