Beautiful photos illustrate this meditation on the role of forests—trees， vines， insects， bacteria， fungi—in the life and health of the planet。

A beautiful book， but the advanced readers copy unfortunately only has nine pages。 So I loved what I could read， beautiful photography and nice stories。 Wish I could see the rest！ Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC to read。 Opinions are my honest thoughts。

Definitely not a book you're going to read cover to cover leisurely， but this is going to tell you everything you need to know about trees。 It will make you want to immediately get out into the woods。 I really liked this one and the photos were amazing。 Thank you to National Geographic and TLC Book Tours for sending me a copy for review。 Definitely not a book you're going to read cover to cover leisurely， but this is going to tell you everything you need to know about trees。 It will make you want to immediately get out into the woods。 I really liked this one and the photos were amazing。 Thank you to National Geographic and TLC Book Tours for sending me a copy for review。 。。。more

What an astoundingly beautiful book。In more than one way; of course the photography is out of this world。 It’s from National Geographic。 But the accompanying text takes you into a place of magic as it shares the stories of the forests。 There is so much to learn。 So much I didn’t know。 Did you know the aspen that has spread so far and wide？ I hadn’t， but now the wonder of it is there for all to learn。There is magic in the forest。 I don’t know about you but when I go walking among the trees there What an astoundingly beautiful book。In more than one way; of course the photography is out of this world。 It’s from National Geographic。 But the accompanying text takes you into a place of magic as it shares the stories of the forests。 There is so much to learn。 So much I didn’t know。 Did you know the aspen that has spread so far and wide？ I hadn’t， but now the wonder of it is there for all to learn。There is magic in the forest。 I don’t know about you but when I go walking among the trees there is such a sense of peace and calm。 Even if the birds are singing， I still feel as if I am alone。Now that I’ve gone all mystical on you let me just put it out there – this is a truly beautiful book full of gorgeous photos of trees and the forest。 Just looking through it will bring you joy。 It’s worth it for that alone。 But the stories will get you thinking。 And wondering what the trees are saying。 。。。more

Susan Tyler's Hitchcock's INTO THE FOREST is quiet splendor， both beautiful and moving as well as profoundly educational and illuminating。 The pages I was privileged to see were splendid photographs and lyrical prose that have moved me to look at the trees around me in a whole different light， more respectful and protective of their magnificent grace。 I expect this would be one of this rarest of luscious coffee table books， ones that you display proudly and actually read to profound effect。 I re Susan Tyler's Hitchcock's INTO THE FOREST is quiet splendor， both beautiful and moving as well as profoundly educational and illuminating。 The pages I was privileged to see were splendid photographs and lyrical prose that have moved me to look at the trees around me in a whole different light， more respectful and protective of their magnificent grace。 I expect this would be one of this rarest of luscious coffee table books， ones that you display proudly and actually read to profound effect。 I received an early copy of this book and my review is my own， unbiased opinion。 。。。more

This is an gorgeous book and very well written。 This book uncovers the hidden science of trees。 From how they influence the weather to how they influence us in our personal lives。 This is definitely a book to pick up and enjoy if you are curious about trees or just want to know more about them。

The parts of this book that I saw was just breathtaking。 The photographs depict the enormity， majestic and whimsical nature of the beautiful trees。 I learned a little about the rings on a tree。 Although I wish the sample included more pages， the parts I did see where phenomenal。 Thanks to the publisher for allowing me to review an ARC sample of part of the book on NetGalley。

am fortunate enough to live near a truly wonderful botanical garden。 My favorite place to explore when there is the forest。 This area has the largest uncut expanse of my state’s original wooded landscape。As the site notes stateFor thousands of years， this old-growth Forest has changed， adapted and survived。 When you visit the Forest， you will walk along Native American hunting trails， see marks left by glaciers， and pass under trees dating back to the American Revolution。You can perhaps imagine am fortunate enough to live near a truly wonderful botanical garden。 My favorite place to explore when there is the forest。 This area has the largest uncut expanse of my state’s original wooded landscape。As the site notes stateFor thousands of years， this old-growth Forest has changed， adapted and survived。 When you visit the Forest， you will walk along Native American hunting trails， see marks left by glaciers， and pass under trees dating back to the American Revolution。You can perhaps imagine why I love it。 It is a place of beauty and peace， a true antidote to the bustle of my city。Given my love of the trees， I was so excited to receive this sample from NetGalley and the publisher， National Geographic。 NG surely knows how to make books; this looks wonderful。 I only wish that I had the full book to read and review。 I will have to buy it！The photos look very inviting and will offer a chance to virtually escape anytime one pages through this title。 Chapters are organized according to Tree， Earth， Water， Air， Fire and Forest。 It appears that there will be much to read along with looking。Nature lovers， note the pub date and put this on your lists。This title will be published on 05 Apr 2022。 。。。more

This is a beautiful book filled with exactly the sort of breathtakingly gorgeous photographs one might expect from National Geographic。 The text was also interesting， incorporating easy to understand scientific explanations， history， mythology， and more。 This would be a fun coffee table book to browse， and a lovely gift for nature lovers。 I could see planning vacations around visiting some of the trees mentioned here。Thanks to National Geographic for providing me with an unproofed ARC sample thr This is a beautiful book filled with exactly the sort of breathtakingly gorgeous photographs one might expect from National Geographic。 The text was also interesting， incorporating easy to understand scientific explanations， history， mythology， and more。 This would be a fun coffee table book to browse， and a lovely gift for nature lovers。 I could see planning vacations around visiting some of the trees mentioned here。Thanks to National Geographic for providing me with an unproofed ARC sample through NetGalley。 I volunteered to provide an honest review。 。。。more

This was a teaser preview for review prior to the whole book being published。 Based on the abbreviated sections of the preview this will be an excellent book。 The photographs are stunning and the writing is engaging and easy to understand。 This will make a great coffee table book。I received a free Kindle copy of this book courtesy of Net Galley and the publisher with the understanding that I would post a review on Net Galley， Goodreads， Amazon， Facebook and my nonfiction book review blog。

As adults， I think we forget about the magic of trees。 When we are children， we scale them to touch the sky， lay beneath them to dream， and build houses in their branches to plan epic adventures。 Yet as life goes on， they can blend in with the wallpaper of our lives。 But in Susan Tyler Hitchcock’s new book from National Geographic， Into the Forest， she teaches us about the secret language of trees and how extraordinary they really are。In Nat Geo’s grand tradition， this book is jam packed with st As adults， I think we forget about the magic of trees。 When we are children， we scale them to touch the sky， lay beneath them to dream， and build houses in their branches to plan epic adventures。 Yet as life goes on， they can blend in with the wallpaper of our lives。 But in Susan Tyler Hitchcock’s new book from National Geographic， Into the Forest， she teaches us about the secret language of trees and how extraordinary they really are。In Nat Geo’s grand tradition， this book is jam packed with stunning photographs。 It is amazing how gorgeous one tree can be on its own， such as a flaming red Japanese maple。 But when we gaze at an entire grove of aspens with their golden leaves which seem to glitter in the sunlight， they are simply breathtaking。 Each tree is beautiful in its own way， and this book features 185 photos that will undoubtedly wow you。Beyond that， Hitchcock takes our examination of these amazing plants from a panoramic view to a microscopic one， teaching us how their transport cells change based on the season， how the rings of a tree come in so many varied patterns， and how they provide a detailed history of the places in which they grow。 I found it fascinating that in one case， the logs used on an ancient wooden walkway in England revealed that they are even older than Stonehenge by a thousand years！Within the six chapters of this book， Hitchcock takes us deep down forest paths and prods us to take a closer look at the vast acres of foliage， from their sprawling root systems to their thick trunks and agile treetops。 Some of them， like the aforementioned aspens， are actually one living organism， each a clone of the other。 We truly gain a deeper appreciation of these “arboreal wonders。”Flipping through this book is like taking a meandering hike through nature alongside a smart， thoughtful guide whose love for her subject is indisputable and infectious。 By the time you finish perusing its pages， you’ll find your appreciation for trees has grown。 As an added benefit， the beauty of the wood will relax and restore you。 And I dare say you will soon find yourself reaching for your camping gear and gassing up your car to head Into the Forest yourself。 。。。more

Nothing more than a coffee table picture book， best suited for someone who has no prior botany knowledge。

I received a sample of the book and being National Graphic， it will bring the secret language of trees to life。 As I looked at the cover， there was a sense of walking down the path， and the feelings that would come over me because it happens when I go walking in the forest。Reading the excerpt that was there， the book will bring the reason why the forest makes us feel the way， it will also help us understand the secrets that has been uncovered as people researched trees。 Although this was only a I received a sample of the book and being National Graphic， it will bring the secret language of trees to life。 As I looked at the cover， there was a sense of walking down the path， and the feelings that would come over me because it happens when I go walking in the forest。Reading the excerpt that was there， the book will bring the reason why the forest makes us feel the way， it will also help us understand the secrets that has been uncovered as people researched trees。 Although this was only a sample of the book， it was like being in the forest， with its magical powers， the quietness that comes over you， and just breathing in the smell of the forest。 I received an ARC through the sample through National Geographic， and I think the book is going to come to life when you read it， make you sense things， feel things， and begin to realize the secrets of the trees in the forest。 。。。more

I received a sample of this book via NetGalley for review。The photography is undeniably beautiful， and the few short essays included in the sample suggest that the full publication is likely quite pleasant to flip through。 It's difficult to say much more， though， with an excerpt sample that is only 8 pages long。 Pretty， but basically lacking depth。 That may not be true of the full book， but is impossible to say with what I was given to review。 I received a sample of this book via NetGalley for review。The photography is undeniably beautiful， and the few short essays included in the sample suggest that the full publication is likely quite pleasant to flip through。 It's difficult to say much more， though， with an excerpt sample that is only 8 pages long。 Pretty， but basically lacking depth。 That may not be true of the full book， but is impossible to say with what I was given to review。 。。。more

If the leafy green forest photo on the cover doesn't enchant and entrance， nothing will！ It is the epitome of pure unadulterated beauty， magical and ethereal。。。and absolutely therapeutic。 If I had such a forest near me I would never be home！ Though only able to read a tantalizingly short excerpt， as a tree/nature lover and master gardener I am fully hooked。 Trees are crucial for our survival in so many ways， sometimes in what we cannot see， but we can also appreciate them purely for their breath If the leafy green forest photo on the cover doesn't enchant and entrance， nothing will！ It is the epitome of pure unadulterated beauty， magical and ethereal。。。and absolutely therapeutic。 If I had such a forest near me I would never be home！ Though only able to read a tantalizingly short excerpt， as a tree/nature lover and master gardener I am fully hooked。 Trees are crucial for our survival in so many ways， sometimes in what we cannot see， but we can also appreciate them purely for their breathtaking aesthetics。 Our climate is extreme， from -40C （such as this moment in January） to +40C。。。and yet these living things survive。 Combined with our severe drought the past two years， tree rings would appear very interesting。 The tree cross-section photograph is striking！ Dendrologists have a fascinating job indeed。 Hopefully the full book will have more information on this。As an international traveler， it is important to me to visit interesting trees， botanic gardens and arboreta all over to learn more about history and culture。 Learning more about trees and their effects on us will be wonderful。My sincere thank you to National Geographic and NetGalley for the privilege of ogling the excerpt of what promises to be a marvelous book， one to look forward to！ 。。。more

"At the center of the world there stands a tree。"And with that quote near the beginning of this gorgeous， informative book， tree lovers like me know what kind of treat they're in for。 Tree worship， tree lore， tree future and past。 Both inspirational and full of wisdom， I know what book I'll be ordering to replace some older coffee table books。 But as captivating as the stories are， the pictures make a jaw drop， a heart stop for a beat， true to the reputation of National Geographic books。Thank yo "At the center of the world there stands a tree。"And with that quote near the beginning of this gorgeous， informative book， tree lovers like me know what kind of treat they're in for。 Tree worship， tree lore， tree future and past。 Both inspirational and full of wisdom， I know what book I'll be ordering to replace some older coffee table books。 But as captivating as the stories are， the pictures make a jaw drop， a heart stop for a beat， true to the reputation of National Geographic books。Thank you for digital portions of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Thank you to NetGalley and National Geographic for a sample of Into the Forest。The book features stunning photographs of trees， there's also some interesting quotes and informative text about trees。Unfortunately， there's not a lot I can say about this book because the sample I received was only 9 pages long （out of 350）。That's pretty much the only reason for my low rating。 Thank you to NetGalley and National Geographic for a sample of Into the Forest。The book features stunning photographs of trees， there's also some interesting quotes and informative text about trees。Unfortunately， there's not a lot I can say about this book because the sample I received was only 9 pages long （out of 350）。That's pretty much the only reason for my low rating。 。。。more
