Taming fruit : how orchards have transformed the land, offered sanctuary, and inspired creativity / Bernd Brunner ; translation by Lori Lantz.
Throughout history, orchards have nourished both body and soul: they are sites for worship and rest, inspiration for artists and writers, and places for people to gather. Award-winning writer Bernd Brunner interweaves evocative illustrations with masterful prose to show that the story of orchards is a story of how we have shaped nature to our desires for millennia. Brunner shares paintings, photographs, and illustrations alongside his enchanting descriptions and research, offering a multifaceted - and long-awaited portrait of the orchard.
