Science Friday  WINNER OF THE 2018 JOHN BURROUGHS MEDAL FOR OUTSTANDING NATURAL HISTORY WRITING  David Haskell has won acclaim for eloquent writing and deep engagement with the natural world. Now  he brings his powers of observation to the biological networks that surround all species  including humans. Haskell repeatedly visits a dozen trees  exploring connections with people  microbes  fungi  and other plants and animals. He takes us to trees in cities (from Manhattan to Jerusalem)  forests (Amazonian  North American  and boreal) and areas on the front lines of environmental change (eroding coastlines  burned mountainsides  and war zones.) In each place he shows how human history  ecology  and well-being are intimately intertwined with the lives of trees.  Scientific  lyrical  and contemplative  Haskell reveals the biological connections that underpin all life. In a world beset by barriers  he reminds us that lifes substance and beauty emerge from relationship and interdependence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946210357301,"sku":"ByrdShop_052542752X","price":89.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780525427520.jpg?v=1769929538","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-songs-of-trees-stories-from-natures-great-connectors","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
