Heartwood: The art and science of growing trees for conservation and profit, by Rowan Reid

Most books about trees and forests are either technical/academic or aesthetic/romantic: this book is both, and more. By combining the author’s substantial academic knowledge (as a forest scientist) and hands-on experience (planting, managing and harvesting his own trees) Rowan has created a unique marriage of the art and science of tree growing that challenges current attitudes and understanding of our relationship with trees and forests.
