Footprints Canada’s List Of Green Reads
‘Tree: A Life Story’
Only David Suzuki can explain the life story of a tree in such a beautiful way.
Bonus, the artwork is by Robert Bateman.
Excerpt: “A tree can lift and transpire vast amounts of water. A single tree in the Amazon rain forest lifts hundreds of liters of water every day. The rain forest behaves like a green ocean, transpiring water that rains upward, as though gravity were reversed. These transpired mists then flow across the continent in great rivers of vapor. The water condenses, falls as rain, and is pulled back up again through the trees.”
