The epic story of the planet's oldest trees and the making of the modern world
"Jared Farmer brings both classic and state-of-the-art botany alive. Farmer shows a wonderfully deep understanding of the scientific process. He deftly communicates the research produced by generations of scientists. Moreover, he shows singular insight into how we do what we do--and perhaps more importantly--why we spend our lives studying trees."
-- Hope Jahren, bestselling author of Lab Girl
"Farmer masterfully blends science, religion, and history, making for a beautiful and moving portrait of nature over time."-- Publishers Weekly, starred review
