Aprašymas

"A rare gift: an inspiring tale about trees, trauma and the very purpose of life." --Andrew Nikiforuk, author of Empire of the Beetle

Diana Beresford-Kroeger--a world-recognized botanist and medical biochemist--has revolutionized our understanding of the natural world with her startling insights into the hidden life of trees. In this riveting memoir, she uncovers the roots of her discoveries in her extraordinary childhood in Ireland. Soon after, her brilliant mind bloomed into an illustrious scientific career that melds the intricacies of the natural world with the truths of traditional Celtic wisdom.

To Speak for the Trees uniquely blends the story of Beresford-Kroeger's incredible life and her outstanding achievement as a scientist. It elegantly shows us how forests can not only heal us as people but can also help save the planet.
