In Trees An Exploration of Ancient Living Wisdom, from Wild Branches to Deep Roots

"Robert Moor's brilliant In Trees is – like its subject – powerfully, fascinatingly arborescent: it branches and roots, gnarls and delves. Moving from sky to earth, Robert Moor unfurls in fine-grained prose the ancient, urgent story of how trees transform us. Reading it, I felt my senses of time, life and process shift in ways I hadn't experienced before. It left me arboresced."
– Robert Macfarlane, author of Is a River Alive?

"Widely branched and deeply rooted, In Trees is a deeply thoughtful exploration of how we unrooted humans value – and devalue – our arboreal relations. With adventurous journeys, lively storytelling and provocative reflection, Moor invites us along to know charismatic forests through the eyes of other worldviews, encouraging our own Green Revelation to guide us through these urgent times."
– Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass

"Robert Moor is a rare and luminous talent, and In Trees is his best work to date [...] To read this book is to feel oneself anchored more firmly to the earth and, simultaneously, to become more open to life's many branching, wild possibilities."
– Ferris Jabr, author of Becoming Earth

"Those who loved On Trails are rewarded for their patience with this new book, another in that rare category of 'classic upon publication.' I've lived out my life in places with far more trees than people, and this volume helps me understand why."
– Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature

"In Trees is dazzlingly erudite, playful, profound, adventurous and, above all, eloquently, fiercely alive. Full of brilliant, mind-bending insights and wonderful surprises, this is the most life-affirming book I've read in a long time"
– John Vaillant, author of Fire Weather

"A profound and loving, shrewd and funny pilgrimage, in which trees are living things but also verbs and ways of life. Moor finds so much beauty, and so much historical rubbish to clear away, in this bold, wild search to understand how he should live."
– Larissa MacFarquhar, author of Strangers Drowning

"Brilliantly written, supremely intelligent, and philosophically provocative."
– Kirkus

"Moor's nature writing is beautiful and refreshingly original. The result is a moving testament to the power of trees."
