Book Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket: Near Fine.
Very ligthly used. Crisp, clean and bright inside and out with the exception of a mark to to the top edge of the textblock and very light bumping to the extremities of the DJ. The collections at Kew and Wakehurst Place lacked key representatives of the world’s temperate woodlands, and to fill the gaps, Flanagan and Kirkham looked east, to the species-rich temperate forests of Korea, Taiwan, eastern Russia and Japan. These hidden corners of the Far East became their hunting ground. Plants are at the heart of this story, and the descriptions convey the excitement of the find. The narrative unfolds with an immediacy that makes us feel right there beside them. Vividly illustrated with color maps and photographs, this entertaining travelogue will appeal to travellers, plant-lovers and anyone with an interest in the rich diversity of flora of the Far East.
