And, at the center of it all, the Mother Trees: the mysterious, powerful forces that connect and sustain the others that surround them.Simard, born and raised in the rain forests of British Columbia, spent her days as a child cataloging the trees from the forest; she came to love and respect them and embarked on a journey of discovery and struggle. Her powerful story is one of love and loss, of observation and change, of risk and reward. And it is a testament to how deeply human scientific inquiry exists beyond data and technology: it’s about understanding who we are and our place in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her book, as in her groundbreaking research, Simard proves the true connectedness of the Mother Tree to the forest, nurturing it in the profound ways that families and human societies nurture one another, and how these inseparable bonds enable all our survival.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"t-Form-itemWrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan id=\"P1201_FLAPTEKST_GEHEEL\" class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2022-10-20\"\u003ePublished: 10\/10\/2022\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 9780141990286\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 368 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: \u003cspan id=\"P1201_FORMAAT\" class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\"\u003e198 x 128 x 23\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\"\u003eWeight: 295g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Bookworm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53104608051537,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/7020\/1169\/files\/9780141990286_8227cf02-f4dd-4ad9-a008-50649ae3e981.jpg?v=1771593109","url":"https:\/\/thebookworm.eu\/products\/finding-the-mother-tree","provider":"The Bookworm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
