Summary

From religious motifs, such as the Tree of Knowledge and the great tree Yggdrasil, to literature, including the poetry of Virgil and Hardy, trees have played integral roles in human culture and society. Hayman also explores how deforestation and urbanization are redefining our relationship with the woodlands, both now and in the future.
