In more than one way; of course the photography is out of this world. It’s from National Geographic. But the accompanying text takes you into a place of magic as it shares the stories of the forests. There is so much to learn. So much I didn’t know. Did you know the aspen that has spread so far and wide? I hadn’t, but now the wonder of it is there for all to learn. There is magic in the forest. I don’t know about you but when I go walking among the trees there is such a sense of peace and calm. Even if the birds are singing, I still feel as if I am alone. Now that I’ve gone all mystical on you let me just put it out there – this is a truly beautiful book full of gorgeous photos of trees and the forest. Just looking through it will bring you joy. It’s worth it for that alone. But the stories will get you thinking. And wondering what the trees are saying. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"For millennia, trees have offered renewal and inspiration. They have provided for humanity on every level, from spiritual sanctuary to the raw material for our homes, books, and food. In this beautiful and revealing book, National Geographic combines legendary photography with cutting-edge science to illuminate exactly how trees influence the life of planet Earth--from our personal lives to the weather cycle. Beautifully illustrated essays tell the stories of the world's most remarkable trees, from Tane Mahura in New Zealand, the ancient Maori "lord of the forest," to Pando, a single aspen spreading over 100 acres: Earth's largest living thing. You'll also discover how an astronaut carried tree seeds to the moon and back; the reason "microdosing" on tree gas is a sure way to boost your immune system; and why playing in the dirt boosts serotonin, happiness hormone"--Amazon.

Into the Forest focuses on the interconnectedness of the forest and the many ways that plants, animals, fungus, bacteria, microbes and weather interact. Combining stories, anthropology and science, the world of the forest becomes alive and it's importance is revealed. One of the main points that Into the Forest drives home is all the ways that the forest benefits humans. From medicines to food and materials to releasing chemicals that improve our mental health, the forests have always been there for us, despite our best efforts to destroy it. Some of my favorite parts were learning more about how trees communicate through different fungus, how soil bacteria has helped to develop vaccines, how trees have adapted to seemingly impossible environments, how trees create lasting aromas and the stories of famous trees that have helped to shape history.
