If you like scientific nonfiction in this vein, I'd also recommend:
- The Wild Trees
- Mycelium Running
- Mind of the Raven
- The Klamath Knot
Or if you want tree fiction:
- The Overstory
(edit: dunno how to do bullet lists here)
- scruple 5y agoThanks for sharing. I knew about The Wild Trees and have The Hidden Life of Trees but was unaware of the others.
- technobabbler 5y agoGlad you're interested! That genre (narrative nonfiction with a focus on natural science) is an exploding genre, and there are a ton more books that recently came out on everything from otters to octopuses. Those are just the most famous ones and/or ones I've personally read. But it's a really great time to be a nonfiction reader if you enjoy learning about the natural world.
