The authors recount the amazing characteristics of the species, how they reproduce and how they receive from and offer nourishment to generations of other plants and animals. The tree's pivotal role in making life possible for the creatures around it -- including human beings -- is lovingly explored. The richly detailed text and Robert Bateman's original art pay tribute to this ubiquitous organism that is too often taken for granted.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRevised edition with a foreword by Peter Wohlleben, author of \u003cem\u003e The Hidden Life of Trees\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greystone Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771644198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.20w x 0.60d","brand":"David Suzuki, Wayne Grady","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36668338045084,"sku":"9781771644198","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b20ac404-ecf1-4934-8242-32e1cd520fb1.jpg?v=1603917280","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/tree-a-life-story-9781771644198","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
