Susan Tyler Hitchcock Releases The Book Into The Forest
Published 3 years, 8 months ago
Description
The 150th anniversary of Arbor Day falls at the end of April this year. Susan Tyler Hitchcock, a writer specializing in history, nature and science, is perfectly qualified as author of INTO THE FOREST: The Secret Language of Trees. Writing for National Geographic, Hitchcock combines legendary photography with cutting-edge science to show exactly how trees influence the life of planet Earth―from our personal lives to the weather cycle. Beautifully illustrated essays tell the stories of the world’s most remarkable trees, from Tane Mahura in New Zealand, the ancient Maori "lord of the forest," to Pando, a single aspen spreading over 100 acres: Earth’s largest living thing.
