This is the best book, on several fronts, that I've read in a long time.\"-Rick Simonson, Elliott Bay Book Company  During Charlotte Gill's 20 years working as a tree planter she encountered hundreds of clear-cuts, each one a collision site between human civilization and the natural world, a complicated landscape presenting geographic evidence of our appetites. Charged with sowing the new forest in these clear-cuts, tree planters are a tribe caught between the stumps and the virgin timber, between environmentalists and loggers.  In Eating Dirt, Gill offers up a slice of tree-planting life in all of its soggy, gritty exuberance while questioning the ability of conifer plantations to replace original forests, which evolved over millennia into intricate, complex ecosystems. Among other topics, she also touches on the boom-and-bust history of logging and the versatility of wood, from which we have devised","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49644128796945,"sku":"GOR005261371","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50034372051217,"sku":"CIN1553657926VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50123849695505,"sku":"CIN1553657926G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50389411823889,"sku":"CIN1553657926A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51036527067409,"sku":"NIN9781553657927","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51698324930833,"sku":"GOR011745465","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52821198635281,"sku":"NLS9781553657927","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52969778118929,"sku":"GOR007263206","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1553657926.jpg?v=1750829888"},{"product_id":"almost-brown-book-charlotte-gill-9780593443019","title":"Almost Brown","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50420137984273,"sku":"CIN0593443012VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50558373593361,"sku":"CIN0593443012G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0593443012.jpg?v=1751041086"},{"product_id":"social-determinants-of-safety-in-a-rural-community-book-charlotte-gill-9781009568579","title":"Social Determinants of Safety in a Rural Community","description":"Criminology has long examined the relationship between crime, place, and community dynamics, but has largely overlooked rural areas.

In the remote rain-drenched forests of Cascadia, an eclectic group of tree planters rises before dawn to replace the trees loggers have felled. Over Charlotte Gill’s 20-year, million-tree career, she came to know these clearcuts as a collision site between human civilization and the natural world—a working frontier where chainsaws go quiet and a different kind of crew moves in to stitch the ground back together.  In Eating Dirt, Gill offers up a slice of tree planting life in all its soggy, gritty exuberance. She traces the life of a seedling from cone picker to greenhouse to helicopter sling, and asks what is really restored when a razored hillside is replanted in tight ranks of conifers. Along the way, she braids in the deep history of forests from ancient redwoods and Indigenous cedar cultures to the clear-cut empires of Rome, Britain, and North America. She looks at logging's environmental impact and its boom-and-bust history, and reveals how thoroughly our cities, wars, and daily comforts have been carved from wood.  More than a memoir, Eating Dirt is a meditation on resilience: of ecosystems, of seasonal workers, and of trees themselves. Gill celebrates the wonder and stubborn beauty of forests and confronts the moral tangle of trying to mend them. Most of all, the book joyously celebrates the priceless value of forests and the ancient, ever-changing relationship between humans and trees.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53648801005841,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53648801726737,"sku":"NGR9781778404306","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781778404306.jpg?v=1781130778"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-charlotte-gill.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
