The Global Forest: Forty Ways Trees Can Save Us Beresford-Kroeger DianaPaperback
A lushly written, compelling tribute to trees-grounded in a wide range of scientific knowledge, and the inspiration for Diana Beresford-Kroeger's documentary, Call of the Forest: The Forgotten Wisdom of TreesRenowned scientist Diana Beresford-Kroeger presents an unforgettable and highly original work of natural history with The Global Forest. In precise, imaginative, and poetic prose, she describes the complexity and beauty of forests, as well as the environmental dangers they face. She explores the fascinating and largely untapped ecological and pharmaceutical properties of trees: leaves that can comb the air of particulate pollution, fatty acids in the nuts of hickory and walnut trees that promote brain development, the compound in the water ash that helps prevent cancer, aerosols in pine trees that calm nerves.
