The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring
Richard Preston · ★★★★☆ · 294 pages · 2007
I loved the first 75 pages and the last 100 pages but the middle was a bit of a bore. The first and last part was written with rich detail about the the redwoods, their biology, as well as what is found at the canopy of these gigantic trees. The last 100 pages cover the scientists who climb these giants to study them, the risks they take to understand the delicate canopy life that exists at the top of these trees.
