"Enduring Roots tells the stories of historic American trees, including the oak, the apple, the cherry, and the oldest of the world's trees, the bristlecone pine. These trees speak of our attachment to the land, satisfy our universal and eternal need to leave a legacy, and demonstrate that the landscape is a gift, to be both received and, sometimes, to be taken away." "Each chapter focuses primarily on a specific tree or group of trees and its relationship to both natural and human history, while exploring themes of community, memory, time, and place."--Jacket.
