The Wood for the Trees is the joyful, lyrical portrait of what he found there.With one chapter for each month, we move through the seasons: tree felling in January, moth hunting in June, finding golden mushrooms in September. Fortey, along with the occasional expert friend, investigates the forest top to bottom, discovering a new species and explaining the myriad connections that tie us to nature and nature to itself. His textured, evocative prose and gentle humor illuminate the epic story of a small forest. But he doesn't stop at mere observation. The Wood for the Trees uses the forest as a springboard back through time, full of rich and unexpected tales of the people, plants, and animals that once called the land home. With Fortey's help, we come to see a universe in miniature 517 $aWood for the Trees, The 676 $a577.309425 700 $aFortey$b Richard$0439393 702 $aPage$b Michael$4nrt 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910149748703321 996 $aWood for the Trees, The : The Long View of Nature From a Small Wood$93593652 997 $aUNINA
