A ground-breaking and beautifully written investigation into the
Arctic Treeline with an urgent environmental message. 'Evocative,
wise and unflinching' Jay Griffiths, author of Wild The Arctic
treeline is the frontline of climate change, where the trees have
been creeping towards the pole for fifty years already. Scientists
are only just beginning to understand the astonishing significance
of these northern forests for all life on Earth. At the treeline,
Rawlence witnesses the accelerating impact of climate change and
the devastating legacies of colonialism and capitalism. But he also
finds reasons for hope. Humans are creatures of the forest; we have
always evolved with trees and The Treeline asks us where our
co-evolution might take us next. SHORTLISTED FOR THE JAMES CROPPER
