The Global Forest - Diana Beresford-Kroeger

A pioneering scientist writes of the benefits of forest bathing and the fascinating ecological and pharmaceutical properties of trees - the inspiration for the documentary Call of the Forest:
The Forgotten Wisdom of Trees

Renowned scientist Diana Beresford-Kroeger presents an
unforgettable and highly original work of natural history with The
Global Forest. She explores the fascinating and largely untapped
ecological and pharmaceutical properties of trees: leaves that can comb
the air of particulate pollution, fatty acids in the nuts of hickory
and walnut trees that promote brain development, the compound in the
water ash that helps prevent cancer, aerosols in pine trees that calm
nerves. In precise, imaginative, and poetic prose, she describes the
complexity and beauty of forests, as well as the environmental dangers
they face. The author's indisputable passion for her subject matter
will inspire readers to look at trees, and at their own connection to
the natural world, with newfound awe.
