1.2 million tourists visit giant sequoia in California every year, 600,000 in Sherwood Forest.
Trees are viewed as a universal good and now a panacea for many human-induced ills.
James B Nardi’s study of the interlocking multitudes that participate in tree-dom is the “wood-wide web”.
James B Nardi has a knack for expressing nature stories in the clearest, simplest terms.
He has personally prepared the book’s hundreds of precise line-drawings that add immeasurably to his tale-telling.
Nardi shows that trees, in calling on the services of wasps, are capable of building the broadest alliances.
