From an imagined dialogue with the world's oldest bristlecone pine, to the minutiae of tree huggability, to the emotional toll of taking up the practice of bonsai, this fresh take into the world of trees is divided into three equally humorous and insightful sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first section discusses Mitnick's personal opinions and relationship with trees, while the second section describes the science behind trees—from tree botany to tree biology to tree ecology.
