Tree: A Life Story: This book tells the story of a single tree, from the moment the seed is released from a cone until, more than five hundred years later, the tree lies on the forest floor as a nurse log, giving life to ferns, mosses, and hemlocks, even as its own life is ending.

Any tree's life is precarious. Wherever the seed lands when it is released, its fate is sealed From that one spot, the tree must deal with predation by insects, birds, or mammals, withering drought, violent storms, and other assaults, as well as find food and water, Tree explores the many amazing mechanisms by which the tree is able to thrive for hundreds of years while remaining rooted to one spot.
