"On occasion, someone understands a subject so deeply that information is transmuted into wisdom. This book marks one of those occasions - it is rich and hopeful and compelling." - Bill McKibben "Beautifully written . . .this book delves into environmental sciences with a fresh perspective." - New Scientist "The essays of The Global Forest are a beautiful and poetic tribute to their subject, based on wide-ranging scientific knowledge." - E.O. Wilson "Beresford-Kroeger is among the world's experts in forest medicine . . . She hopes that by educating people about the beneficial effect of forest environments on human health, it will encourage forest repopulation, which will, in turn, counteract the effects of global warming and pollution." - The Globe and Mail (Canada) "An important book with many significant insights into the interconnectedness of trees and other life forms." - Orion Magazine, "On occasion, someone understands a subject so deeply that information is transmuted into wisdom.

Wilson "An important book with many significant insights into the interconnectedness of trees and other life forms." - Orion Magazine, Praise for Diana Beresford-Kroeger: "Who speaks for the trees, speaks for all nature. Diana Beresford-Kroeger is one of the rare individuals who can accomplish this outwardly complex and difficult translation from the nonhuman to human realm. The essays of The Global Forest are a beautiful and poetic tribute to their subject, based on wide-ranging scientific knowledge." --Edward O. Wilson "[Beresford-Kroeger's] books have been a call to humanity to treat trees with the awe due to immensely resourceful creatures that we still know so little about." --Richard Powers, Conjunctions "In her youth in Ireland Diana Beresford-Kroeger received an extraordinary and unique education in traditional Celtic plant lore. At university in Canada she specialized in biochemistry and merged what she learned and observed into her signature studies of trees, augmented by First Nation forest wisdom." --Annie Proulx "On occasion, someone understands a subject so deeply that information is transmuted into wisdom.

The price for the product is completely understandable for the product. I really appreciate the seller and I am very happy to have purchased through this seller. Completely trustable!
- m***4 (1603)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufLeaving positive feedback because 1) item was packed well & arrived as described 2) seller did give partial refund when subsequent price dropped below org purchase price. 3) communication was quick However, there was a downside to this transaction -item listed as in-stock but ended up waiting nearly a month for them to get it from their distributer then ship it to me (bought June 29th, arrived around July 21). Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
