Our Trees at a Glance 2
Description
Book Introduction
A new challenge for the evolving tree encyclopedia!
A three-dimensional innovation in 'editing', 'photography', and 'description'
A massive collection of content spanning 4,000 pages in 8 volumes.
A must-read guide to practical study optimized for visual comparison!
The most notable feature of 『Our Trees at a Glance』 is that it presents 15 photos showing the characteristics of each tree species and places descriptions above the photos, allowing information to be input into the mind as soon as you see it.
Another advantage that sets it apart from other picture guides is that it allows you to see even the smallest differences in detail, such as the shape of leaves and seeds, the length and direction of hairs, and the degree of darkness or lightness of color, through clear, enlarged photos.
In addition, this book includes not only native species but also alien and horticultural species that have been neglected in existing guides, as they are commonly found in parks, arboretums, and apartment flower beds.
In other words, I have been faithful to the innate human desire to properly understand the trees around me, and have devoted my heart and soul to solving the common questions of those who wish to study trees.

Publisher's Review
The beginning of a proper study of trees!
Volume 1 (23 classes, 195 types) and Volume 2 (15 classes, 214 types) of the 8-volume set were published.
Complete cropping including succulents by next year!
The term ESG has come to us since the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is an abbreviation for environment, social, and governance, and it means that these three things will determine our future lives.
Among them, the environment is emerging as the area of greatest concern due to infectious diseases, global warming, and fine dust.
It seems like we've talked about the environment for ages, but now, at a crossroads for the survival of humanity, is the first time that everyone has begun to seriously consider environmental issues.
Trees are at the forefront of environmental issues.
The environment is a natural ecosystem, and restoring the original rhythm of the Earth's healthy natural ecosystem has become a major goal for humanity.
The core of that natural ecosystem is the forest and the trees.
Interest in trees has been steadily increasing in our society, and now there are more and more people who want to study trees in earnest.
Because more and more people are drawn to the fundamental healing power of trees and forests.
What's different from the existing tree encyclopedia!
There are a variety of books about trees, but the reality of our publishing industry is that publication of the most basic types of guides is not very active.
In addition, existing tree guides often had small photos and limited quantity, which often failed to fully display the characteristics of the tree. In addition, the photos and text were separated, which caused inconveniences such as having to look up the relevant information after looking at the photo.
Additionally, the terminology was technical and difficult, and the explanations were not specific.
Therefore, there were many limitations in resolving the curiosity of those who encounter and study trees in actual natural settings.
The reality is that newly introduced and established alien species and horticultural species are rarely dealt with, and incorrect information is not properly updated.
The author, who had been feeling this frustration for a long time, took matters into his own hands and published the recently published book, “Our Trees at a Glance” (8 volumes).
From 1998 to 2020, over 23 years, we traveled to nature sites and took over 1.5 million high-resolution photos showing the characteristics of each tree species to build a database, and it took over 5 years just to edit them.
Trees change their appearance with each season and bloom or die every day, so it's usually not easy to capture all the characteristics of a single tree and even capture them in a photograph.
From these photos, 40,000 were selected and 1,500 species of trees (mainly trees, but also including succulents) were compiled into eight volumes.
The first and second volumes published this time contain a total of 409 species of trees.
A three-dimensional innovation in photography, editing, and captioning!
In that respect, this book can be said to be a great innovation that breaks the existing framework of tree encyclopedias.
In today's world where the majority of the population is born and raised in cities, this also shows that the basic form of a tree guide that can be understood even from the perspective of that generation should be like this.
The differences from the existing Pokedex can be broadly divided into three categories.
First is the photo.
This book devotes a large number of photographs, 15 for each tree species.
Readers can see almost every detail of the tree in photographs, without missing a single detail.
In addition, the sizes of leaves, stems, fruits, flowers, etc. have been increased to about twice those of the existing illustrated guide.
There is a big difference in the quality and accuracy of information obtained from viewing a tree from 1 meter away versus from 0.5 meters away.
Furthermore, since it provides high-quality photos that are magnified 10 times or more than the actual size of small areas such as the nectar glands and ovaries, this area can be said to be a new world that was not available before.
Because these are photos that you can't get anywhere else unless the author gets down on his knees and takes the photo with an expensive lens.
Readers will find the photographs of trees in this book refreshing to the eyes.
The second is editing.
Existing picture guides are organized in a way that the photos are grouped together at the top of the book and the descriptions are grouped together at the bottom of the book.
The reason this is inconvenient is that the photos and text are not visible at a glance, and you have to constantly search for and match them.
However, 『Our Trees at a Glance』 integrates photos and text into one body.
For example, in the case of a pine tree, 15 photos of the overall shape of the pine tree and each part were filled without any gaps across two pages. (The arrangement principles can be found in the 'Introduction' at the beginning of the book.) The description of each part was placed as a caption above the corresponding photo, allowing for intuitive information acquisition at a glance.
It is the most efficient use of the limited space called a book.
And regardless of the type, the fruit and the leaves were repeated in the same location every time.
That is, the reader can learn each part of the tree repeatedly by turning the page in the order determined by the author.
This edit reflects the idea that studying trees is also a form of study, and that nothing is as important as repetition.
The third is the explanation.
The author changed existing plant terms based on difficult Chinese characters into terms written in Korean as much as possible.
For example, the preface to the book, Yuihwaseo, was changed to Korean expressions such as '꼬리꽃절' (tail flower arrangement) and '실편' to '솔콩각각' (pine cone carving), so that readers would not get stuck while reading. In addition, existing Chinese character terms were written next to each other or included in the glossary at the back so that readers could understand the changes in terminology from the past to the present.
Arrows were also actively used.
In the case of seeds, we have taken great care to avoid confusion for the reader by clearly indicating with arrows where the wings are, where the seeds are, what the leaf pores are, the split parts of the leaves, and the location of the winter buds.

Complete cropping including succulents by next year!
The term ESG has come to us since the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is an abbreviation for environment, social, and governance, and it means that these three things will determine our future lives.
Among them, the environment is emerging as the area of greatest concern due to infectious diseases, global warming, and fine dust.
It seems like we've talked about the environment for ages, but now, at a crossroads for the survival of humanity, is the first time that everyone has begun to seriously consider environmental issues.
Trees are at the forefront of environmental issues.
The environment is a natural ecosystem, and restoring the original rhythm of the Earth's healthy natural ecosystem has become a major goal for humanity.
The core of that natural ecosystem is the forest and the trees.
Interest in trees has been steadily increasing in our society, and now there are more and more people who want to study trees in earnest.
Because more and more people are drawn to the fundamental healing power of trees and forests.
What's different from the existing tree encyclopedia!
There are a variety of books about trees, but the reality of our publishing industry is that publication of the most basic types of guides is not very active.
In addition, existing tree guides often had small photos and limited quantity, which often failed to fully display the characteristics of the tree. In addition, the photos and text were separated, which caused inconveniences such as having to look up the relevant information after looking at the photo.
Additionally, the terminology was technical and difficult, and the explanations were not specific.
Therefore, there were many limitations in resolving the curiosity of those who encounter and study trees in actual natural settings.
The reality is that newly introduced and established alien species and horticultural species are rarely dealt with, and incorrect information is not properly updated.
The author, who had been feeling this frustration for a long time, took matters into his own hands and published the recently published book, “Our Trees at a Glance” (8 volumes).
From 1998 to 2020, over 23 years, we traveled to nature sites and took over 1.5 million high-resolution photos showing the characteristics of each tree species to build a database, and it took over 5 years just to edit them.
Trees change their appearance with each season and bloom or die every day, so it's usually not easy to capture all the characteristics of a single tree and even capture them in a photograph.
From these photos, 40,000 were selected and 1,500 species of trees (mainly trees, but also including succulents) were compiled into eight volumes.
The first and second volumes published this time contain a total of 409 species of trees.
A three-dimensional innovation in photography, editing, and captioning!
In that respect, this book can be said to be a great innovation that breaks the existing framework of tree encyclopedias.
In today's world where the majority of the population is born and raised in cities, this also shows that the basic form of a tree guide that can be understood even from the perspective of that generation should be like this.
The differences from the existing Pokedex can be broadly divided into three categories.
First is the photo.
This book devotes a large number of photographs, 15 for each tree species.
Readers can see almost every detail of the tree in photographs, without missing a single detail.
In addition, the sizes of leaves, stems, fruits, flowers, etc. have been increased to about twice those of the existing illustrated guide.
There is a big difference in the quality and accuracy of information obtained from viewing a tree from 1 meter away versus from 0.5 meters away.
Furthermore, since it provides high-quality photos that are magnified 10 times or more than the actual size of small areas such as the nectar glands and ovaries, this area can be said to be a new world that was not available before.
Because these are photos that you can't get anywhere else unless the author gets down on his knees and takes the photo with an expensive lens.
Readers will find the photographs of trees in this book refreshing to the eyes.
The second is editing.
Existing picture guides are organized in a way that the photos are grouped together at the top of the book and the descriptions are grouped together at the bottom of the book.
The reason this is inconvenient is that the photos and text are not visible at a glance, and you have to constantly search for and match them.
However, 『Our Trees at a Glance』 integrates photos and text into one body.
For example, in the case of a pine tree, 15 photos of the overall shape of the pine tree and each part were filled without any gaps across two pages. (The arrangement principles can be found in the 'Introduction' at the beginning of the book.) The description of each part was placed as a caption above the corresponding photo, allowing for intuitive information acquisition at a glance.
It is the most efficient use of the limited space called a book.
And regardless of the type, the fruit and the leaves were repeated in the same location every time.
That is, the reader can learn each part of the tree repeatedly by turning the page in the order determined by the author.
This edit reflects the idea that studying trees is also a form of study, and that nothing is as important as repetition.
The third is the explanation.
The author changed existing plant terms based on difficult Chinese characters into terms written in Korean as much as possible.
For example, the preface to the book, Yuihwaseo, was changed to Korean expressions such as '꼬리꽃절' (tail flower arrangement) and '실편' to '솔콩각각' (pine cone carving), so that readers would not get stuck while reading. In addition, existing Chinese character terms were written next to each other or included in the glossary at the back so that readers could understand the changes in terminology from the past to the present.
Arrows were also actively used.
In the case of seeds, we have taken great care to avoid confusion for the reader by clearly indicating with arrows where the wings are, where the seeds are, what the leaf pores are, the split parts of the leaves, and the location of the winter buds.
