Mr. Altman brings such issues into clear and sharp focus. Consider how much trees have shaped our civilization, how much it is part of our daily life, how much trees contribute to our quality of life, Fall on your knees and thank the Creator for such a gift.! Clearly humans too are an integral part of nature and this book clearly highlights this fact. This book and his other book "Sacred Water" make ideal companion volumes and could be read sucessively and then a true panoramic view of the gifts of nature can be gleaned, This is definitely worth buying and reading numerous times.
