    'The tree is the hero in his book.' The Times

    The Great Tree Story explores the profound influence that trees have had on our planet and civilization. Delving into their evolutionary beginnings, their cultural significance, and the impact that agriculture, colonization, and the Industrial Revolution have had on their survival - this book recounts the resilient life of trees across the ages.

    Combining global travel and in-depth research, explorer Levison Wood plots the history of trees alongside our own - from the rainforests of Brazil to the war-torn regions of Ukraine - and centres their stories as the bearers of ancient wisdom.

    This is a vital retelling of our natural history, and one that determines our own future.
