Vancouver/Berkeley, Greystone Books, (2015). The first English language edition, translated from the German. Written by a German forester, who recounts his own experiences caretaking a woodland and synopsizes current scientific studies of trees from other botanists, biologists and foresters. Many of the insights and understandings recounted in this book have recently received popular expression in the latest book by Richard Powers, The Overstory, a well-received novel in which the perspective of trees is used to inform and contextualize the human stories within the book. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Uncommon in the first printing: the book went into at least 10 printings within the first two years of publication. [#033359] SOLD
