Hout dat spreekt
€ 29,95
Iedereen weet wat hout is en wat je ermee kan doen. Maar is dat echt zo? Na het lezen van dit boek zal u moeten bekennen dat er veel meer over hout te vertellen valt dan u denkt.
De invloed van hout op ons en onze beschaving is immens groot. Zonder hout geen vuur, geen houtskool en dus ook geen ijzertijd, geen luxueuze, zwarte stoffen, geen inkten of plakkaatverf, geen whisky of wijn. In hout dat spreekt maken we kennis met dit geweldige materiaal dat natuur ons brengt.
Wim Tavernier, Viviane Leyman, Ilse Boeren, Maaike De Ridder en Kristof Haneca brengen in dit boek hun wijsheid samen en verassen ons met boeiende inzichten.
Deze uitgave is tot stand gekomen in samenwerking met Plantentuin Meise.
