What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
To truly grasp the wisdom of a tree, you need to begin thinking like one... From New York Times bestselling author Robert Moor comes a wondrous, curious journey through the wilds of nature and the gnarls of history, exploring how trees – from the mightiest sequoia to the tiniest bonsai – can teach us to grow wise.
One day, on a whim, Robert Moor set out to climb a tree near his home, unwittingly embarking on what would become a decade-long adventure in trees. From Darwin to Attenborough, Brecht to Wordsworth, cutting-edge scientists and Zen monks and Bonsai artists, In Trees explores the fundamental and meaningful role of trees in the natural world.
In a globe-spanning adventure, from Ethiopia and Papua to the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Lake District, Moor uncovers extraordinary stories of how trees have become embedded in our culture, lifestyle and imagination for centuries, becoming the key to almost everything on our planet.
What began as an ode to the miracle of trees blossoms into a joyous, daring, fiercely hopeful endeavour that reveals. . . a tree is not just a type of being, it is also a way of being. A way of being that's open-minded, playful, rigorous and resilient, and most of all, deeply rooted.
"Brilliant, powerful, fascinating" ROBERT MACFARLANE
"Deeply thoughtful" ROBIN WALL KIMMERER
"Robert Moor is a rare and luminous talent" FERRIS JABR
"Dazzlingly erudite, playful, profound, adventurous" JOHN VAILLANT
