This book talks about the complex network of forests and how communication happens between trees. How trees collectively build a support structure, and even decide which trees flower and when. Even during human intervention, how signals are sent to determine which ones survive and which ones lie dormant. It has a combination of research, facts and theories and presented as a light read. But gives a deeper meaning in each read!
