Description: "From the DNA contained in an apple seed to the great choiring branches far beyond a young boy's reach, Heinrich explores a natural world in scientific and personal terms. Heinrich is a scientist, but his words speak with the power and subtle grace of a poet. He uses this gift and his intimate knowledge of his three hundred acres of Maine forest to expose the forest's rhythms, and in doing so, he illustrates the tenuous but vital link among man, trees, birds, insects, and all the creatures of the forest. Thanks to Bernd Heinrich, readers will finally see the forest and the trees."--Jacket.
