DESCRIPTION:Pulitzer Prize finalist David Haskell's book The Forest Unseen earned 
 acclaim for eloquent writing and deep engagement with the natural world. 
 His newest book, The Songs of Trees, explores nature's most magnificent 
 networkers.\n\nIn The Songs of Trees, Haskell repeatedly visits a dozen 
 trees around the world—exploring their connections with webs of fungi, 
 bacterial communities, cooperative and destructive animals, and other 
 plants. By unearthing charcoal left by Ice Age humans and petrified 
 redwoods in the Rocky Mountains, Haskell shows how the Earth's climate has 
 emerged from exchanges among trees, soil communities, and the atmosphere. 
 Now humans have transformed these networks-powering our societies with 
 wood, tending some forests, but destroying others. Haskell also examines 
 trees in places where humans seem to have subdued nature—a pear tree on a 
 Manhattan sidewalk, an olive tree in Jerusalem, a Japanese 
 bonsai—demonstrating that wildness permeates every location.\n\nEvery 
 living being is not only sustained by biological connections, but is made 
 from these relationships. Haskell shows that this networked view of life 
 enriches our understanding of biology, human nature, and ethics. When we 
 listen to trees—nature's great connectors—we learn how to inhabit the 
 relationships that give life its source, substance, and beauty.\n
