Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

In THE SONGS OF TREES, award-winning nature writer David Haskell repeatedly visits a dozen trees around the world, exploring the trees' connections with webs of fungi, bacterial communities, cooperative and destructive animals, and other plants. In doing this he shows that every living being is not only sustained by biological connections, but is made from these relationships, and that holding a networked view of life enriches our understanding of biology, human nature, and ethics.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 259-280) and index.

Ceibo -- Balsam fir -- Sabal palm -- Green ash -- Interlude: Mitsumata -- Hazel -- Redwood and ponderosa pine -- Interlude: Maple -- Cottonwood -- Callery pear -- Olive -- Japanese white pine.
