The power of trees : how ancient forests can save us if we let them / by Wohlleben, Peter,1964-author.; Billinghurst, Jane,1958-translator.; translation of:Wohlleben, Peter,1964-Lange Atem der Bäume.English.; David Suzuki Institute.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."As human-caused climate change devastates the planet, forests play a critical role in keeping it habitable. While politicians and business leaders would have us believe that cutting down forests can be offset by mass tree planting, Wohlleben offers a warning: many tree planting campaigns lead to ecological disaster. Not only are these trees more susceptible to disease, flooding, fires, and landslides, we need to understand that forests are more than simply a collection of trees. Instead, they are ecosystems that consist of thousands of species, from animals to fungi and bacteria. The way to save trees, and ourselves? Step aside and let forests--which are naturally better equipped to face environmental challenges--heal themselves."--

With Joel away on business in New York, Flora is preparing for the next stage in her life. And that would be? Love? She's feeling it. Security? In Joel's arms, sure. Marriage? Not open to discussion.

According to local superstition, it's an omen--and a warning that Flora's future could be as fleeting as the sea-spray.
