Tree: A Life Story by David Suzuki & Wayne Grady

This book tells the story of a single Douglas-fir, from the moment the seed is released from a cone until, more than five hundred years later, the tree lies on the forest floor as a nurse log, giving life to ferns, mosses, and hemlocks, even as its own life is ending. It's a revelation, a salute to life itself. The book includes art by Robert Bateman. It won the Silver Winner of the Foreword Book of the Year Award and is a Winner of the Science in Society Book Award.
