Description:
From Richard Preston, author of the #1 bestseller The Hot Zone, comes the spellbinding story of Steve Sillett, Marie Antoine, and a group of botanists and amateur naturalists who discovered a mysterious world hidden above California. The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring is the gripping tale of their adventures exploring the uncharted canopy biosphere of the largest and tallest organisms the world has ever sustained: the coast redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens).
