From an esteemed National Geographic explorer and forest ecologist, a charming collection of thought-provoking essays exploring the meaning of trees in our lives. Telephone poles, baseball bats, railroad ties. Peaches, nutmeg, and vanilla. The more you look, the more you realize: Our world depends on products made from trees. In this sweet book, forest ecologist Nalini Nadkarni takes you on a worldwide journey to learn more about trees--their variety, their usefulness, their beauty, and their importance, not only to human culture, but to the entire natural world. Inspired by Nadkarni's popular podcast broadcast by Utah's public radio station KUER, TreeNotes comprises more than 45 brief essays, organized by season. Chapters roam from big questions to the particular; for instance: How Many Kinds of Trees Are There?Trees and LightningTree PollenThe Baobab TreeMistletoeConductors' Batons
