Any time a tree dies or a new one sprouts, the forest that includes it has shifted. When new trees sprout in the same direction, the whole forest begins to migrate, sometimes at astonishing rates. Today, however, an array of obstacles—humans felling trees by the billions, invasive pests transported through global trade—threaten to overwhelm these vital movements. Worst of all, the climate is changing faster than ever before, and forests are struggling to keep up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA deft blend of science reporting and travel writing, \u003cem\u003eThe Journeys of Trees\u003c\/em\u003e explores the evolving movements of forests by focusing on five trees: giant sequoia, ash, black spruce, Florida torreya, and Monterey pine. Journalist Zach St. George visits these trees in forests across continents, finding sequoias losing their needles in California, fossil records showing the paths of ancient forests in Alaska, domesticated pines in New Zealand, and tender new sprouts of blight-resistant American chestnuts in New Hampshire. Everywhere he goes, St. George meets lively people on conservation's front lines, from an ecologist studying droughts to an evolutionary evangelist with plans to save a dying species. He treks through the woods with activists, biologists, and foresters, each with their own role to play in the fight for the uncertain future of our environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn eye-opening investigation into forest migration past and present, \u003cem\u003eThe Journeys of Trees\u003c\/em\u003e examines how we can all help our trees, and our planet, survive and thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855011860716,"sku":"9781324020233","price":31.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781324020233.jpg?v=1759260822"},{"product_id":"snake-men-by-zach-st-george-9781324021681","title":"Snake Men","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaymond Hoser is known as the \u003cem\u003eSnakeman\u003c\/em\u003e, a moniker that he has zealously defended. As a day job, Hoser runs a Melbourne business that offers services such as snake removal and snake shows. But by the 2010s, he became famous around the world for an entirely different activity: naming thousands of new species, including more snakes than any other scientist. To some, Hoser's accomplishments were a scientific triumph.
