Opis: The Treeline - Ben Rawlence
'The very treeline is on the move: a devastating image. This book is an
evocative, wise and unflinching exploration of what it will mean for
humanity.' Jay Griffiths
The Arctic treeline is the frontline of climate change, where the trees
have been creeping towards the pole for fifty years already. These vast
swathes of forests, which encircle the north of the globe in an almost
unbroken green ring, comprise the world's second largest biome.
Scientists are only just beginning to understand the astonishing
significance of these northern forests for all life on Earth. Six tree
species - Scots pine, birch, larch, spruce, poplar and rowan - form the
central protagonists of Ben Rawlence's story. In Scotland, northern
Scandinavia, Siberia, Alaska, Canada and Greenland, he discovers 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.
At the treeline, Rawlence witnesses the accelerating impact of climate
change and the devastating legacies of colonialism and capitalism. But
he also finds reasons for hope. Humans are creatures of the forest; we
have always evolved with trees. The Treeline asks us where our
co-evolution might take us next. Deeply researched and beautifully
written, The Treeline is a spellbinding blend of nature, travel and
science writing, underpinned by an urgent environmental message.
