Professional arborist and award-winning nature writer William
Bryant Logan deftly relates the delightful history of the
reciprocal relationship between humans and oak trees since time
immemorial a profound link that has almost been forgotten. From the
ink of Bach s cantatas, to the first boat to reach the New World,
to the wagon, the barrel, and the sword, oak trees have been a
constant presence throughout our history. In fact, civilization
prospered where oaks grew, and for centuries these supremely
adaptable, generous trees have supported humankind in nearly every
facet of life. With an unabashed enthusiasm for his subject (Carol
Haggas, Booklist) Logan combines science, philosophy, spirituality,
and history with a contagious curiosity about why the natural world
works the way it does. At once humorous and reverent, this splendid
acknowledgment of a natural marvel (Publishing News) reintroduces
the oak tree so that we might see its vibrant presence throughout
our history and our modern world."
