Galvanized by a radical new outlook on both our gnarled past and our ever-branching future, he ultimately falls in with a ragtag clan of climate activists risking everything to halt construction of an oil pipeline and save an old-growth forest.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Along the way, Moor learns the art of “treethinking,” which, he discovers, has the power to break open some of humanity’s oldest questions: What is the secret to truly growing old? How do we set down roots in an increasingly chaotic world? Can we ever learn to pursue our future in the farsighted, deeply entangled manner of an ancient forest?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A witty, relentlessly curious excursion through philosophy, history, and science, what begins as an ode to the miracle of trees blossoms into a joyous, daring, and fiercely hopeful effort to “arborize humanity.”","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43066827210813,"sku":"9781476739250","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781476739250_p0.jpg?v=1774622160","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781476739250","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
