À propos de cette écoute
The award-winning and surprisingly hopeful story of one woman's search for resiliency in a warming world.
Several years ago, ecologist Lauren E. Oakes set out from California for Alaska's old-growth forests to hunt for a dying tree: the yellow cedar. With climate change as the culprit, the death of this species meant loss for many Alaskans.
Oakes and her research team wanted to chronicle how plants and people could cope with their rapidly changing world. Amid the standing dead, she discovered the resiliency of forgotten forests, flourishing again in the wake of destruction, and a diverse community of people who persevered to create new relationships with the emerging environment. Eloquent, insightful, and deeply heartening, In Search of the Canary Tree is a case for hope in a warming world.

"Through the lens of a majestic tree, Oakes tells a powerful, nuanced story of climate change and our response to it. Deftly crossing boundaries from the scientific to the personal and from the measurable to the immeasurable, she takes the reader on an extraordinary adventure from despair to faith. This book is a must-read for anyone looking for optimism about the future of our changing planet." (Juli Berwald, author of Spineless: The Science of Jellyfish and the Art of Growing a Backbone)
"Oakes traces the slow death of the yellow cedar, alternatively known as the yellow cypress, in this significant ecological study...Oakes admirably melds the professional with the highly personal, ultimately delivering a work of sensitivity and philosophical grace." (Publishers Weekly)
"In a warming world, we need wisdom as well as knowledge; In Search of the Canary Tree is a rich source of both. Join Lauren Oakes in the fragile yellow-cedar forests of Alaska and discover not only how field ecologists do their work, but why." (Dan Fagin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Toms River)
