The Spirit of Trees

Science, Symbiosis and Inspiration

by Fred Hageneder

Trees are one of Earth’s oldest life forms; silent witnesses to human evolution and the passing of time. Many people today are unaware of their significance in Earth’s ecology, their medicinal and nutritional properties, or the veneration bestowed on them by ancient peoples. This book captures all these elements in an inspiring holistic appraisal. Hageneder looks in detail at 24 of Europe and North America's best-loved trees: their physical characteristics, their healing powers, the traditions associated with them and how they have inspired human beings through the ages.
