Wonderful, wonderful. Many perspectives on why trees are so special and precious to us.....highly recommended ! If you love trees and want to read more than just the scientific mumbo jumbo about trees, read this !!! It will feel good to read it, and make your heart happy !
This is one of the finest documentations of the many legends and beliefs about trees that's been published. It is a must read for all who love and respect our environment.
This lovely book has helped me understand things about the natural world that I've been curious about for some time. I purchased it as a research tool for the novel I'm writing, but I've gained so much from it that it will be useful to me in other areas as well.The writing is accessible without being overly simplistic. It is lyrical and pulls you directly into the subject matter.
