About this product
In this mind-expanding debut, tree scientist Harriet Rix reframes trees not as passive victims of climate change, but as ingenious agents that have actively shaped our planet for millions of years. From “sex-shifting” oaks in Iraq to sequoias that use fire as a reproductive tool, Rix explores the complex ways trees manipulate elements, animals, and even humans to thrive. Longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction 2026 , this book is a magisterial blend of deep science, travelogue, and ecological hope.
