InNew Treehouses of the World, world-renowned treehouse designer and builder Pete Nelson takes readers on an exciting, international tour of more than 35 new treehouses that reveal how treehouses are designed, constructed, and appreciated in a wide array of cultures and settings. Both beautifully photographed and thoughtfully written by Pete Nelson,New Treehouses of the Worlddocuments Nelson's travels, discoveries, and epiphanies, and explores the ever-growing new frontier of arboreal architecture.
