The Language of Trees : How Trees Make Our World, Change Our Minds and Rewild Our Lives

This visually stunning and thought-provoking anthology delves into the intricate world of trees, exploring their memories, responses to stress, and intricate communication networks. Through a masterful blend of prose, poetry, and art from over fifty esteemed collaborators, including renowned writers, artists, activists, and ecologists, it invites readers on a captivating journey that spans from prehistoric cave paintings and creation myths to the demise of a 3,500-year-old cypress tree.

Artist Katie Holten's exquisite Tree Alphabet serves as a visual guide, translating and illuminating the diverse contributions that unearth a newfound appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds us. From Tree Clocks in Mongolia and fragmented forests in the Amazon to the language of fossil poetry, this collection unveils a fresh perspective on the vital role trees play in shaping our world and influencing our minds, ultimately reminding us of the urgency to protect and preserve these invaluable resources.

Printed in deep green ink, 'The Language of Trees' stands as a celebratory homage to the wonders of the natural world. With contributions from luminaries such as Ursula K. Le Guin, Robert Macfarlane, Zadie Smith, Radiohead, Elizabeth Kolbert, Amitav Ghosh, Richard Powers, Suzanne Simard, Gaia Vince, Tacita Dean, Plato, and Robin Wall Kimmerer, this immersive and beautifully illustrated collection serves as a poignant reminder that, like the growth of mighty oaks from tiny acorns, we possess the power to create the world we wish to inhabit.
