Black Inc’s follow up to “The Hidden Life of Trees” takes a very different approach. David George Haskell writes a series of essays on his favourite trees around the world, detailing their environment and lifestyles, neighbours and problems. He also touches on humans and our impact on trees, as well as our useage and kinship with forests. From the Amazonian ceibo and the indigenous tribes who fight to protect the rainforest, to Japanese Zen monks who live amongst Japanese White Pines, and visiting an ancient olive tree in Jerusalem – this book urges us to reconnect with nature in a thoughtful and meaningful way.
