Description

COCONUT Philippines book is the first and the only one of its kind. No one has ever published such a comprehensive book on the coconut with such depth and beauty. 

While this highly informative book can be used in schools and libraries, it is too beautiful to be just a textbook and yet it is too useful to be just a decorative coffee table book. This book is a conversation piece and an inspirational life manual for healthy living. 

Anything and everything about coconuts is in this book!  

This book celebrates the Filipino ingenuity for its production and global distribution of world-class coconut-based products ranging from food, skincare, houseware and decorative furnishings, high fashion accessories, packaging materials, personal care, and cosmetic products, garden and agricultural items, and building materials like coconut tiles, wood flooring, fiberboard and many more. It also presents the many industrial uses of coconut such as coco biodiesel, oleochemicals, coco alkyl, and polyol resins. 

As a Philippine tourism book, it documents the history of coconut. It features exotic and popular coconut influenced culture like coconut themed festivals, holiday places and sceneries, resorts and spas, songs and dances and a host of other things.  Behold the lowly coconut in its classiest form.
