TREELINE: THE LAST FOREST/ FUTURE OF LIFE ON EARTH (PB)

A ground-breaking and beautifully written investigation into the Arctic Treeline with an urgent environmental message. The Arctic treeline covers vast swathes of forests that make up the world's second largest biome and it is at the frontline of climate change. Scientists are only just beginning to understand the astonishing significance of these northern forests for all life on Earth. In this book, author Ben Rawlence examines the fate of six tree species (Scots pine, birch, larch, spruce, poplar and rowan) to discover what these trees and the people who live and work alongside them have to tell us about the past, present and future of our planet.
