How to Read a Tree by Tristan Gooley
'Trees are keen to tell us so much. They'll tell us about the land, the water, the people, the animals, the weather and time. And they will tell us about their lives, the good bits and bad. Trees tell a story but only to those who know how to read it.'
'Tristan Gooley has done trees the greatest serviceIn this gentle, enchanting book he leads us into their language - how to spot their natural tendencies and individual foibles, recognise their responses to stress and ingenious strategies to survive. And with these insights he arouses an even deeper affection and concern for trees - our friends and allies, with whose fate our own is inextricably bound.' * Isabella Tree *
