Power of Trees The Reforesting of the Soul

As we witness the daily destruction of forests, a sadness afflicts the roots of the soul. This book is the first to connect trees' symbolism with the personal meaning of their beauty - & their loss in hurricanes, clear - cut timberlands, tract housing & war zones. As an originator of Archetypal Ecology, Michael Perlman goes beyond the psychological interpretations of trees in myth & fairytale. Rather, like Studs Terkel, he interviews & reports on what actual people think & feel about the trees they know. Their words resonate with the trees of literature & psychoanalysis: Wendell Berry, Harold Searles, Aldo Leopold, Tim O'Brian & even Tolkien's famous "Treebeard." Pearlman's intimate engagement with one of nature's great Powers involves the reader in a work of the heart, combining new knowledge with an ancient devotion.Perlman, Michael is the author of 'Power of Trees The Reforesting of the Soul' with ISBN 9780882143620 and ISBN 088214362X.
