Summary:
Take an Enlightening Journey with A.T. Mann as he explains how our primal relationship with trees-a central theme in religion, myth, arid culture-has-evolved through the ages. He also discusses the role trees have played in the development of civilization and how they are a disappearing critical resource that must be preserved. By simply running our hand over finely crafted wooden furniture, holding a great tree in our embrace, or even taking natural remedies that come from the trees," writes Mann, "we begin to feel again how important they are for our very being."
