In Around the World in 80 Trees, Drori delves into the realm of trees, demonstrating how they are woven through every facet of our existence. He takes us on a world tour, from the iconic plane trees of London to the towering Durian forests with their wondrous exotic fruit of Malaysia to the amazing Sandbox tree of Costa Rica and its deadly sap and exploding seedpods.

The follow-up, Around the World in 80 Plants, continues Drori’s botanical exploration, this time unveiling the intricate connections between plants and human history and culture. Each plant has its own story, some mysterious, some dark, a death sentence for illicit growing or selling of nutmeg and some like Coffea arabica that have spawned global industries and changed history.
