The exuberant story of four acres of woodland, evoking a cosmos of living and inanimate things and imagining its millennia of existence. A few years ago, award-winning scientist Richard Fortey purchased four acres of woodland in Oxfordshire, England. The Wood for the Trees is the joyful, poetic portrait of what he found there. Organized month to month, Fortey leads us through the seasons, from felling trees in winter to hunting moths in June. He makes new discoveries as he examines the forest, rendering the nature there with his signature humor and lyrical skill. With the woods as his springboard, Fortey conjures a long history full of stories about the people, plants, and animals who once resided there. In his hands, a forest in England becomes a whole universe in miniature.
