Book Description

ISBN-10: 0826413358 | ISBN-13: 978-0826413352 | Publication Date: October 20, 2001

Trees are one of Earth's oldest forms; silent witnesses to human evolution and the passing of time. Many people today take the presence of trees for granted, unaware of their greater significance in Earth's ecology, their medicinal and nutritional properties, or the veneration bestowed on them by ancient peoples. The Spirit of Trees captures all these elements in a holistic appraisal of Earth's most influential creation.

This review is from: Spirit of Trees (Hardcover)

This author wove the symbiotic relationship we have with the growing world around us into a clear, well researched and understandable read. He covered both the scientific and spiritual aspects of trees seamlessly. He took technology, science and Gaia, and gave us a tapestry. It is one of the best books I have ever read on the subject, and it is clear that the author loved what he was writing about. I cannot stress enough how impressed I was with the details and research and heart that went into this book. It is a book I will re-read and back reference to often.
