Why read it
Preston follows botanists and naturalists into the crowns of California’s coast redwoods. Their exploration reveals a forest world that is difficult to see from the ground.
A question to carry with you
What might familiar places contain that we have never learned to notice? Read alongside the Mother Tree photoset, this book offers another way to look at an ancient forest.
Who it’s useful for
Readers drawn to trees, natural history, field exploration, and stories of sustained curiosity.
A tension or limitation
The adventure of reaching the canopy is part of the story. Readers looking for a field guide to identifying trees will want a different kind of book.
