Thirteen Ways to Smell a Tree

David Haskell's book gives thirteen short moments that consider trees from their smells, a sense that is often overlooked in nature books. Haskell's weaving together of story, science, experience and history suggests a way of understanding trees that is broad and embodied. Beyond this, the tree for Haskell is also the book and the glass of whiskey, the forest fire and the slice of bread dipped in olive oil.

Each chapter is accompanied by music from composer Katherine Lehman, creating a treat for the senses in a beautiful, small and accessible book.
