Forty Ways to Know a Tree offers forty distinct ways of encountering, exploring and knowing a tree.
You might know it by its birth, by its death, by its roots, by its rings, as a lone sentinel or as part of an ancient woodland. Each meeting is illustrated with a particular species, and they combine to create a broader canvas of tree knowledge.
Elegant writing turns tree science into storytelling, with beautiful watercolours and photographs scattered throughout.
Joan Maloof is Professor Emeritus of Biology at Salisbury University, Maryland, and founder of the OldGrowth Forest Network, which is working to create a national network of protected old-growth woodlands. Her work has been featured in the New York Times and Washington Post and she is the recipient of prizes including the 2014 Mary Byrd Davis Award. She is the author of a number of published titles, including Treepedia, Nature’s Temples (both Princeton University Press), and The Living Forest (Workman).
