Tristan Gooley: How to Read a Tree, Clues and Patterns from Roots to Leaves
Presented by Village Books
Did you know that you can find north by looking at the bark of a London Plane tree? Or that the veins on a leaf can help you find water?
In How to Read a Tree, you’ll discover the signs trees are giving you about their past and the landscape that surrounds it. And you’ll learn rare skills that can be applied every time you pass a tree, whether you are in a town or a wilder spot.
As the author of the international bestsellers The Walker’s Guide and How to Read Water, Tristan Gooley knows how to uncover the phenomena worth looking for. He has been instructing people in the art of reading trees for two decades. Unlike other books of this ilk, Tristan shifts the focus to what you can see. Once you have learned to see these things it is impossible to unsee them – you will never look at a tree the same way again!
‘An important book and a pleasure to read.’ – Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path
