Naturalist’s Book Club: Twelve Trees
Join a lively discussion with like-minded community members focusing on Daniel Lewis’ Twelve Trees: The Deep Roots of Our Future.
From the publisher’s website:
“A compelling global exploration of nature and survival as seen via a dozen species of trees…revealing the challenges facing our planet and how scientists are working urgently to save our forests and our future.
The world today is undergoing the most rapid environmental transformation in human history—from climate change to deforestation. Scientists, ethnobotanists, indigenous peoples, and collectives of all kinds are closely studying trees and their biology to understand how and why trees function individually and collectively in the ways they do. In Twelve Trees, Daniel Lewis, curator and historian at one of the world’s most renowned research libraries, travels the world to learn about these trees in their habitats.”
