Decades of Suzanne Simard's life work are contained within the pages of Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest. The University of British Columbia forest ecologist's book, newly released in paperback, details the complexity of our forests with a clear, elegant communicative style that The New York Times called "astonishing." Simard's work has long been recognized by scientists and peers in the forest-loving community, but Finding the Mother Tree creates a complex web between humans, forests, fungi, and soil that feels like revelatory, personal storytelling.
