The Last Durbar
France: A Short History
Trees: From Root to Leaf
Paul Smith and Robert Macfarlane
Organized around the rich materials and textures of the city’s densely woven fabric of history and celebrating the artisan’s skill at every turn, this visually stunning love letter to the secret beauties of Venice, captured by photographer Mattia Aquila, is both a revelation and unique reminder to all those who wish to recall the golden iridescent silence of their first sight of the mythical city that floats between sky and sea.
Paul Smith has worked in conservation for over twenty-five years and joined Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) as its Secretary General in March 2015. He recently co-authored the ‘State of the World’s Trees’ report, published on 1 September 2021 as part of the IUCN World Conservation Congress, an event driving action on nature-based recovery, biodiversity and climate change. He was previously Head of Kew Garden’s Millennium Seed Bank (MSB), London, where he oversaw its conservations of seeds from more than 25,000 species.
