The epic story of the planet's oldest trees and the making of the modern world. Humans have always revered long-lived trees.

The new science of tree time prompted travellers to visit ancient specimens and conservationists to protect sacred groves. Exploitation accompanied sanctification, as old-growth forests succumbed to imperial expansion and the industrial revolution.
