For centuries these supremely adaptable, generous trees have supported humankind in nearly every facet of life. From the ink of Bach's cantatas to the first boat to reach the New World, the wagon, the barrel, and the sword, oak trees have been a constant presence in our past. Yet we've largely forgotten the oak's role in civilization. With reverence, humor, and compassion, Logan awakens us to the vibrant presence of the oak throughout our history and in today's world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLogan, William Bryant:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Bryant Logan\u003c\/strong\u003e is a practicing arborist and the author of four acclaimed books on nature: \u003cem\u003eSprout Lands\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDirt\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOak\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAir\u003c\/em\u003e.
