Summary

"In sixteen essays, each named after a species of tree, Maureen Dunphy explores the nature of human-arboreal relationships, and how each of these trees has -- literally -- served as a friend, a confidante, or a place to rest. Within reflections of her personal experience, she skillfully integrates scientific facts to achieve a balance of passion and practicality. While technology, screens, and the stress of the modern world direct our attention elsewhere, Dunphy brings the reader back to the trees right outside our windows"--Back cover
