520    "An eye-opening investigation into forest migration past 
       and present-and the people fighting to save its uncertain 
       future. Forests are restless. Any time a tree dies or a 
       new one sprouts, the forest that includes it has shifted. 
       Today, however, an array of obstacles-humans felling trees
       by the billions, invasive pests transported through global
       trade-threaten to overwhelm these vital movements. Worst 
       of all, the climate is changing faster than ever before, 
       and forests are struggling to keep up. A deft blend of 
       science reporting and travel writing, The Journeys of 
       Trees examines the evolving movements of forests by 
       focusing on five types of tree: giant sequoia, ash, black 
       spruce, Florida torreya, and Monterey pine. Journalist 
       Zach St. George reads fossils that show the paths of 
       ancient forests, introduces lively characters on the 
       conservation front lines-such as an ecologist studying 
       droughts and an evolutionary evangelist with plans to save
       a dying species-and reveals how we can all help our trees,
       and our planet, survive and thrive"--|cProvided by
