Europe's most ancient species of tree, the yew has many unique characteristics: it is a 'conifer' without resin or cones, and though it has an extraordinarily low rate of photosynthesis, it can grow where other plants wither and die. It was in the Palaeolithic Era that humans were first struck by the yew's regenerative powers and began to associate it with concepts of life, death, the afterlife and eternity.

Now available in paperback, this richly illustrated cultural and natural history includes the latest scientific discoveries about a most remarkable tree.
