The epic story of the planet's oldest trees and the making of the modern world.
Jared Farmer is the Walter H. Annenberg Professor of History at the University of Pennsylvania. A former Andrew Carnegie Fellow, he is the author of several books, including On Zion's Mount, which won the Francis Parkman Prize of the Society of American Historians. He lives in Philadelphia.
Jared Farmer brings both classic and state-of-the-art botany alive
. . . he shows singular insight into how we do what we do—and
perhaps more importantly—why we spend our lives studying trees.
*Hope Jahren, author of Lab Girl*
While it is true that the trees have no tongues, that doesn’t mean
they don’t speak to us . . . Read Jared Farmer’s lucid and
fascinating book to discover the . . . mysteries told by
elderflora.
*Michael Mann, author of The New Climate War*
