By Fred Pearce
A Trillion Trees by Fred Pearce digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

  • Adventure travel: Pearce takes readers on an adventure to visit some of the most spectacular and unusual forests in the world.

  • Award-winning environmental science writer: Pearce has authored more than a dozen books and has won awards for his writings, which range in subject matter from the water crisis to consumerism and radioactive waste.

A Trillion Trees Reviews

4.0
“This fit well with some of the other books I've read recently about forests and hydrology. It was especially important to learn more about how the world's forests can be managed best by indigenous inhabitants.”
