Professional arborist and award-winning nature writer William Bryant Logan deftly relates the delightful history of the reciprocal relationship between humans and oak trees since time immemorial.
With reverence, humor, and compassion, Logan awakens us to the vibrant presence of the oak throughout our history and in today\'s world..

From the ink of Bach\'s cantatas to the first boat to reach the New World, the wagon, the barrel, and the sword, oak trees have been a constant presence in our past.
For centuries these supremely adaptable, generous trees have supported humankind in nearly every facet of life.
