Finding the Mother Tree

For me, this wasn't a fast-moving book, but I did enjoy it. I felt that the extensive details of Simard’s experiments in various forest plots were more technical than I cared for, but I am sure it would appeal to others. Her personal story, interwoven with her scientific work, made for a good reading. Simard's discoveries of the communication process with trees and plant species were fascinating. My main problem with the book was our library loan policies. Since there was a long waitlist for the book, it could be checked out for only two weeks, and if you wanted to renew it, you had to get back on the waitlist (generally six weeks plus). I had to go through several cycles.
