Trees have played countless roles in human history - by turns
hopeful symbols of freedom, pioneering space travellers, keepers of
ancient history and accessories to murder. From art to politics,
science to crime, these are the stories of the trees that have
shaped life on Earth. Neurobiologist and philosopher Stefano
Mancuso brings his signature charm and eye for unforgettable detail
to tell eight stories of trees that have rooted themselves in human
history - from the red spruces that were made into Stradivarius'
violins to the wooden ladder that solved 'The Crime of the
Century'. Combining scientific vigour with his inimitable voice,
Mancuso reveals the amazing ways that the world's green-print has
shaped the course of our lives, issuing a passionate rallying cry
for greater care and attention towards the plants that have helped
us survive and thrive.
