Summary

After the ocean, the boreal forest is the largest biome on earth and is essential to our planet's health. Bur for the last fifty years, the trees of the boreal forest have been moving north. This book takes us along this critical frontier of our warming planet from Norway to Siberia, Alaska to Greenland, to meet the scientists, residents and trees confronting huge geological changes. Only the hardest species survive at these latitudes. It is a journey of wonder and awe at the incredible creativity and resilience of these species and the mysterious workings of the forest upon which we rely for the air we breathe
