Finding the mother tree : discovering the wisdom of the forest / Suzanne Simard.
"A personal and scientific work on trees, forests, and the author's profound discoveries of tree communication."-- Provided by publisher.
The author, a forest ecologist raised in the family logging business, writes of her scientific quest and her own journey--of love and loss, of observation and change, of risk and reward--making us understand that human scientific inquiry exists beyond data and technology, that it is about understanding who we are and our place in the world. In writing of her own life, she reveals the true connectedness of the Mother Tree that nurtures the forest, and the profound ways that families and human societies are also connected with inseparable bonds that enable all survival.
