Michael Perlman

The Power of Trees

The Reforesting of the Soul

265 pages, ISBN 0-88214-362-X / 978-0-88214-362-0, Spring Publications

This book is the first to connect the symbolism of trees with the personal meaning of their beauty - and their loss in hurricanes, clear-cut timberlands, tract housing and war zones. Perlman, an originator of Archetypal Ecology, goes beyond the psychological interpretations of trees in myth and legend to interview and report what actual people think and feel about the trees they know.
