A nice nonfiction addition for our library here. This book covers trees from a variety of viewpoints: ecological, sociological, historical, and sustainable. It has a worldwide focus, covering everything from baobabs to sequoias to Pando, the trembling aspen entity. Lots of call-outs and sidebars and pop-boxes for fast factoids and interesting asides, and a light gloss over the various topics in the main text. Capped off with an excellent Resources section (nearly 2 pages of websites and books) and a very detailed Index of topics and key terms. Visually appealing, delightful subject, and lots of starting points to spark tangents and further interest-driven research into the topic.
