Review
San Francisco Chronicle Holiday Gift Guide Selection "A project with weight and lasting beauty…Ancient Trees provides the kind of thorough and thoughtful portrait that each of these majestic long-lived survivors deserves.” —Christian Science Monitor “[Moon] creates magical images that in their blacks and whites, silvers and grays, capture the marvel of arboreal forms and textures . . . [a] jewel of a book.” —Booklist, Starred Review "Ancient Trees: Portraits of Time is well named. One cannot look at Beth Moon's images of gnarled, overgrown trees and not feel the intrinsic gravity of time." —Printers Row Journal, Chicago Tribune Featured in the Wall Street Journal's Weekend "Exhibit" spotlight "Trees are notoriously hard to photograph, but Moon captures their individuality with reverent portrayals…these are lavish, awe-inspiring pictures...Crossing with ease between realms of natural history and art, this will appeal to all with even the mildest horticultural or photographic interests.” –Library Journal “Beth Moon’s stunning images capture the power and mystery of the world’s remaining ancient trees. These hoary forest sentinels are among the oldest living things on the planet, and it is desperately important that we do all in our power to ensure their survival. I want my grandchildren—and theirs—to know the wonder of such trees in life and not only from photographs of things long gone. Beth’s portraits will surely inspire many to help those working to save these magnificent trees.”—Dr. Jane Goodall

The book is a solid amount of images and the tree's themselves are all very unique - though more info about the tree's themselves could have been written - especially considering how much white space there is. There are some real gem's no doubt, with great detail and composition. However, it seems this photographer has her own artistic style of producing the images that are either nicely detailed, highly grainy, or washed out. There are too many of these grainy/washed images for my liking. I'd much prefer to see some of these tree's in greater detail and study their intricate bark lines. I understand some (or many) may love this style, but I feel for the price there should be larger and higher resolution versions instead. It might be more acceptable if some of the images were in color but alas they're all sepia or black and white. I've attached a few closeup images to help you get an idea.
Photographer Beth Moon's "Ancient Trees" is the unique product of an unusual quest, to capture in beautiful black and white the images of many ancient trees, from Britain to the United States, to Cambodia, Africa, and beyond. This well-executed coffee-table format allows the viewer to approach each unique tree on its own terms, to be appreciated for its age and its disposition. Some grace churchyards, some inhabit monuments such as Angkor Wat, and some are to be found with others of their kind. The book features a couple of short essays and an index of the pictures, but mostly this book is about the trees. Recommended.
This is far more art than reference or trees/woodworking. Moon took gorgeous pictures of some amazing trees & then processed them in a special way (platinum/paladium mix?) to make them last forever. They're kind of B&W, but glow a bit more even on the printed page. Lovely. And the trees are incredible as is the way she captured them.Unfortunately, she made the decision to put just a plate on each page, then put a separate section in the back with thumbnails & a very brief explanation for each. At least she got the Latin names & locations for them. She could have easily put the explanation on most pages & on a facing page otherwise & I wish she had. Flipping back & forth sucked. The paucity of information was just plain frustrating. Luckily, I do have good references. As a coffee table book for someone who really appreciates photography & trees, this is a darn good book. I'm such a person as is my wife.
Hard-to-believe 8-inch x 10-inch black and white photographs of unusual trees from around the world. This is a great coffee-table book which displays the wonders of nature. And the Amazon price of $35 is also hard to believe.The book is nicely balanced with an introduction by the author, an article on the form and function of ancient trees by Todd Forrest, 62 tree pictures followed by 15 pages of captions, closing comments on the art of the tree by Steven Brown, and a 2-page index of the trees shown.I highly recommend this book for those interested in unusual trees and nature in general.
I anxiously awaited the arrival of this book for 6 weeks and when it finally came I was so disappointed with it that I was sure I must've gotten a knock-off copy. Many of the images were very grainy, there were some digital artifacts and that particular clipping of tones in the shadows I associate with ink jet printing. I immediately made some high res scans of the worst examples and emailed the publisher and the artist to verify it. The publisher explained that they worked closely with the artist and that the scans I made were indeed of their work and not a knock-off and that the artist supplied the proofs and files for the printing. So, the publisher is not to blame for what I perceive as a poor job and it was apparently what the artist intended. I can't understand why one would go to all the trouble of making platinum/palladium prints, known for their tonal range and high Dmax, and then compromise it so much IMHO. The artist never did reply to me. Ah well, you be the judge; none of the other reviewers have mentioned it. Perhaps I was expecting Ansel Adams like impact from these images, for they are well composed and lighted, and the book itself is well made with nice thick pages.
Interesting subject, minimal heart. Short on breadth of content. Fascinating nature, but so disappointing in that there is virtually nothing about the project, personal experiences of the photographer. Platinum/paladium printing is an interesting device, but I did not find its use here to be a valid process. I bought a used copy and will be selling it back immediately. No real life to the lives of the trees.
This book was everything i expected and more!! I researched this before purchasing and then i finally did it one day! I bought my 2nd "coffee table book"! It is beautiful. Nice and weighted. It has turned some heads and a few visitors have actually taken the time to flip thru the pages and become mesmorized by the sheer beauty of these natural trees! It is just so beautifully made i can't stop looking at it!
I don't think the print quality did the pictures justice. I returned the book.
