They'll tell us about the land, the water, the people, the animals, the weather, and time. And they will tell us about their lives, the good bits and bad. Trees tell a story, but only to those who know how to read it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eHow to Read a Tree, \u003c\/i\u003e Gooley uncovers the clues hiding in plain sight: in a tree's branches and leaves; its bark, buds, and flowers; even its stump. Leaves with a pale, central streak mean that water is nearby. Young, low-growing branches show that a tree is struggling. And reddish or purple bark signals new growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like snowflakes, no two trees are exactly the same. Every difference reveals the epic story \u003ci\u003ethis\u003c\/i\u003e tree has lived--if we stop to look closely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTRISTAN GOOLEY\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e-bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eHow to Read Water, How to Read Nature, The Natural Navigator, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Art of Reading Nature's Signs, The Secret World of Weather, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Nature Instinct. \u003c\/i\u003eHe has led expeditions on five continents, climbed mountains in three, and is the only living person to have both flown and sailed solo across the Atlantic.
