Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A "smart and surprising" (Booklist) "expansive history" (Publishers Weekly) detailing the role that wood and trees have played in our global ecosystemincluding human evolution and the rise and fall of empiresin the bestselling tradition of Yuval Harari's Sapiens and Mark Kurlansky's Salt.As the dominant species on Earth, humans have made astonishing progress since our ancestors came down from the trees.

A brilliant blend of recent research and existing scientific knowledge, this is an "excellent, thorough history in an age of our increasingly fraught relationships with natural resources" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).…
