A photographic and scientific ode to a beloved Costa Rican relic tree

Additional text

PRAISE FOR POWER OF TREES

"The Power of Trees is a deceptively slim volume that will inspire frequent rereading. The authors’ intention is expressed in their epigraph from the Tibetan master Sogyal Rinpoche: when you meditate on a tree, 'you will find that it dissolves into an extremely subtle net of relationships that stretches across the universe.'"—The New York Times Book Review

“In one small volume, The Power of Trees delivers a treatise on these silent giants that satisfies tree-huggers and skeptical science types alike.”— Nature Magazine

“This compact book has a powerful message — just how integral trees are to the world’s biological systems.” — The Seattle Times
