About This Book
"Only God can make a tree," wrote Joyce Kilmer in one of the most celebrated of
poems. In Tree: A Life Story, authors David Suzuki and Wayne Grady extend that
celebration in a "biography" of this extraordinary - and extraordinarily
important - organism. A story that spans a millennium and includes a cast of
millions but focuses on a single tree, a Douglas fir, Tree describes in poetic
detail the organism's modest origins that begin with a dramatic burst of
millions of microscopic grains of pollen. 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.
