"Why should we bother with this talk of soul? Discovering the inner and communal life of trees can help us to treat them with greater care. We might discover something about ourselves as well."
"Arboriculture is not only the cultivation of trees. It is the cultivation of a community to which we belong."
"Good arboriculture, according to Shigo, is based on understanding how trees grow and survive."
This book would make an excellent companion to Modern Arboriculture. It is written in an understandable conversational style, addressing tree anatomy, biology and care, with a philosophical and environmental perspective as well.
This book is soft cover, 6" x 9", 52 pages with full color photos throughout.
