The Life of Trees— Francis Hallé

From the boundless kingdom of flora, trees are one of the living beings most present in human culture, yet they are still far from revealing all their mysteries and secrets. They are beautiful, ingenious beings of enormous stature, incredibly capable of occupying space, overcoming any difficult situation, and resisting man's desire for control. They do not bother and live longer than any other living being.

Francis Hallé, an internationally renowned scientist and discoverer of "botanical architecture," not only possesses the science of trees but has also managed to convey like no one else his passion for these wonders of nature. Understanding the plant kingdom, the French ecologist affirms, requires an "intellectual revolution," and today, more than ever, it is an emergency. This book, a lecture by Hallé that introduces us to the secrets and otherness of trees, is a small contribution to this.
