The Japanese practice of forest bathing, shinrin-yoku, changes the levels of stress and pleasure hormones in the body, decreasing cortisol and increasing serotonin. And if being around one tree feels good, imagine how a hundred trees would feel.
In her first botanical nonfiction in more than a decade, Amy Stewart brings us captivating stories of people who spend their lives collecting trees and asks them: What drives one to collect something as enormous, majestic and deeply-rooted as a tree?
Vivid watercolor portraits of these extraordinary people populate this lively compendium along with with side trips to investigate more about trees, including famous tree collections, necessary terms and even "tips" for unauthorized forestry.
