Enduring Roots - an engaging exploration,
By charlotte kidd (Philadelphia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Enduring Roots: Encounters with Trees, History, and the American Landscape (Hardcover)
As one who feels trees and words have amazing power and mystique, I believe Gayle Samuels pays high tribute to them both in Enduring Roots: Encounters with Trees, History, and the American Landscape. With intense passion and deft pen, Samuels lyrically brings the reader along on her journey to explore trees - from their physical structure to their integral place in our personal, natural, and national histories. Her vibrant writing evokes the emotional, the logical, and the visceral. The pages are rich with self-discovery, hands-on exploration, extensive research, and hard science. Her descriptions are clear and solid; so much so that reading, for example, about the majesty of the aged bristlecone pines and ancient oaks raises goosebumps.Enduring Roots is not too sappy, not too woody; it's Just Right for everyone! |
