Beechcombings: The narratives of trees
Richard Mabey
Beech trees reached Britain about 8,000 years ago, and they were workhorses, not ornaments - fuel for Rome's glassworks; firewood for London; oars for the ships of Venice; and raw material for furniture. This book is a personal investigation of the relationship that humans have with trees.
