The power of trees

the long version

"This founding text in eco-psychology goes beyond the psychological interpretation of trees in myths and legends. It is a beautiful, lyrical inquiry into the place of trees in the everyday soul, a heart-rending lament for the lost forests, and a brilliant reportage of the after-effects of hurricanes and other disasters, both natural and man-made. Michael Perlman died soon after completing this work. It is an extraordinary testimony to a passion for the planet."--Amazon.com.
