'An important book and a pleasure to read.' - Raynor Winn, author
of The Salt Path 'You will never look at a tree in the same way
again after reading this mesmerising book. Gooley drops learning as
lightly as blossom falls in spring.' - John Lewis-Stempel 'Tristan
Gooley has done trees the greatest service.' - Isabella Tree 'It
was a lightbulb moment! I thought I knew my local woods - I walk
there almost every day. But it's a thrill to see it through fresh
eyes, to develop a much deeper understanding.' - Peter Gibbs, Chair
of BBC Gardeners' Question Time 'Wherever you are - city or
wilderness - if you want to understand the secrets of trees you
pass, this is the book to read...Tristan has the rare gift of
explaining the most complex ideas with humour and deep insight.' -
Peter Thomas, Emeritus Reader in Plant Ecology at Keele University,
author of Trees Do two trees ever appear identical? No, but why?
Every small difference is a clue. Each tree we meet is filled with
signs that reveal secrets about the life of that tree and the
landscape we stand in. The clues are easy to spot when you know
what to look for, but remain invisible to most people. In How to
Read a Tree, you'll discover the simple principles that explain the
shapes and patterns you can see in trees and what they mean. And
you'll learn rare skills that can be applied every time you pass a
tree, whether you are in a town or a wilder spot. As the author of
the international bestsellers The Walker's Guide and How to Read
Water, Tristan Gooley knows how to uncover the phenomena worth
looking for. He has been instructing people in the art of reading
trees for two decades and this book includes signs that will not be
found in any other book in the world. Once you have learned to see
these things it is impossible to unsee them. We will never look at
a tree the same way again.
