- Book Synopsis
- 'A poetically-written testimony of our own deep relationship with the natural world, and of nature's own resilience' Ben GoldsmithImagine if you could hear the trees speak. How would it change your life? Your relationship to the world around you? This is the story of what happened when the trees whispered me to quit my job, leave my life in New York and go on a journey to listen. It is the story of what I learnt from ten trees on five continents - and the lessons that the trees have for all of us on how to be in a rapidly changing world.Olivia Sprinkel was sitting in her office in New York, an experienced international sustainability strategy and communications consultant, and as a newly single woman, she decided she had to make a change in her life and undertake a journey. To Hear the Trees Speak: Adventures in Listening is the story of her travels to Europe, North and South America, Australia, and South Asia, to discover ten of our world's essential trees and their habitats. The ten trees range from the banyan and bodhi to the olive, giant sequoia and beech. Powerfully crafted, this is important and accessible nature writing blended with insightful memoir.
