The Songs of Trees: Stories from Nature’s Great Connectors

byDavid George Haskell

The Songs of Trees examines stories from Nature’s Great Connectors, combining David George Haskell's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of nature and science. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
