À propos de cet audio

In the tradition of Elizabeth Kolbert and Barry Lopez, a powerful, poetic, and deeply absorbing account of the “lung” at the top of the world.

For the last 50 years, the trees of the boreal forest have been moving north. The Treeline takes us along this critical frontier of our warming planet from Norway to Siberia, Alaska to Greenland, to meet the scientists, residents, and trees confronting huge geological changes. Only the hardest species survive at these latitudes including the ice-loving Dahurian larch of Siberia, the antiseptic Spruce that purifies our atmosphere, the Downy birch conquering Scandinavia, the healing Balsam poplar that Native Americans use as a cure-all and the noble Scots Pine that lives longer when surrounded by its family.

It is a journey of wonder and awe at the incredible creativity and resilience of these species and the mysterious workings of the forest upon which we rely for the air we breathe. Blending reportage with the latest science, The Treeline is a story of what might soon be the last forest left and what that means for the future of all life on earth.

Interesting book. The author is a bit dramatic in some of his takes (perhaps exaggerating in some places), but the book is generally well written. As a researcher studying the northern treeline in Canada, it was interesting to hear a global perspective on this issue. I appreciate learning from his travels.

Interesting

derangement is present all throughout the material. the author blows through contradictions and barrels over people he met on his travels. complete and utter waste of fime.
