In the tradition of Elizabeth Kolbert and Barry Lopez, a powerful, poetic, and deeply absorbing account of the “lung” at the top of the world.

For the last 50 years, the trees of the boreal forest have been moving north. The Treeline takes us along this critical frontier of our warming planet from Norway to Siberia, Alaska to Greenland, to meet the scientists, residents, and trees confronting huge geological changes. Only the hardest species survive at these latitudes including the ice-loving Dahurian larch of Siberia, the antiseptic Spruce that purifies our atmosphere, the Downy birch conquering Scandinavia, the healing Balsam poplar that Native Americans use as a cure-all and the noble Scots Pine that lives longer when surrounded by its family.

It is a journey of wonder and awe at the incredible creativity and resilience of these species and the mysterious workings of the forest upon which we rely for the air we breathe. Blending reportage with the latest science, The Treeline is a story of what might soon be the last forest left and what that means for the future of all life on earth.

This book is a great blend of stories and sound science. Ben does a great job of including indigenous wisdom from history, he also matches it with first hand accounts of the people living today carrying on ancient customs. The modern science is blended in to create a thrilling and educational book that tells stories of the past while laying out the potential future in the ever changing climate. I love these types of books and this will be one of the first books I'll recommend going forward! Thanks for this great book and all the stories included.

As the Earth continues to warm and stable climates and ecosystems unravel we humans will require the information in this book.

Of Critical importance

I found this to be highly readable and painfully relevant to understanding what I've seen cited in internet articles around the topic. I'm not a science heavy reader and this had excellent cross reference points to history and anthropology to keep me engaged.

A great combination of storytelling and science

Bless Mr Rawlence for this incredible book. To his family for supporting him thru his travels and researching. Unfortunately I fear that this work as so many like it will not be read/ heard by those who truly need to understand the message
For anyone questioning the time for this book please just read/listen to the epilogue first before you decide
There are great information and stories
Narration is excellent

Bens layout and organization takes you on a journey to places and cultures you may never have known to exist. He clearly explains how vital their experiences and the changes and movements of the trees is crucial to the heartbeat and existence of human life on this planet. Decisions need to be enacted now to stem the tide. Well done Ben!

Everyone should read and heed this book!

Rarely do you discover a book that is observational, historical, prophetic, and hopeful. These stories of treeline around the globe, of the places and the people are just that. The epilogue left me writing and sharing quotes and I continue to ponder the lessons on my daily forest walks. I am changed by this book.

A surprising find

Treelike

I read a lot of books on climate change, and this book added more facts to the increasing volume of data proving the vast human impact on our environment. If you are not convinced that we are endangering ourselves with our casual disregard of scientific warnings, this book provides indisputable evidence that our planet is quickly changing. The narrator was excellent.

Enlightening

This book is not for the faint of heart. Rawlence's writing is both beautiful and haunting. The stories of the trees and communities that live among them will both inspire you and leave you with a deep sadness for our planet and all creatures on it. Reading this book has made me more appreciative of every tree and more aware of how my behaviors impact the forest.

The revolution begins with a walk in the woods
