Good condition. Moderate scuffing/bumping wear on cover. Some light tanning on outside page edges. 'Tree' tells the life story of a single majestic Douglas fir on the Pacific coast of North America. The story begins with the release of millions of microscopic grains of pollen that coat thousands of pine cones on neighbouring trees, one pollen grain fertilises an egg cell to create a seed and that seed develops into a tree. We follow the tree's progress as it grows and discover the role it plays in the forest throughout its life - and after its death - from its use as a home to a succession of creatures to the crucial part it plays in the water cycle, from breaking rock down into soil, to removing carbon dioxide from the air, producing oxygen, how its decaying wood provides nutrients for insects and fungi.
