What a beautiful way to write an "India book".

TR Shankar Raman's The trees of my country: A Natural History of India in 50 Trees, illustrated by Manali Patel, takes you from the spectacular showboats to the unobtrusive, hardy survivors.

🦚🌴🌲🌳

"Every tree is a storyteller, a historian, a chronicler of place. In their rootedness to particular places, in their long-lived and silent attention to the changes around them, and in their tendrils of connection to other lifeforms, trees embody a perspective both unique and invaluable for us to understand the world. By paying attention to trees, you can begin to hear the stories they tell, the histories they document, the places they describe...

...this book essays to perceive trees, in India and beyond, as fully-formed beings, as subjects with rich lives of their own."

Nations are not built by ideals alone. They are held together by courage, conviction, and difficult choices.

Through moments of resistance, leadership, and political negotiation, the book reveals the discipline, resolve, and vision that defined the Iron Man of India.

Patel: A Life is the definitive biography of this iconic figure.
