Sick at home, used the day to finish this lovely book. I've never taken a hard look or thought onto how trees spread, and the intricate relations humans have developed with trees over our existence. This book dives into the history, inspirational throughout, with quotes on the beauty, ingenuity, and resilience of the oak tree.

At times it can get too caught up in the details, like through intricacies of forest to production to boat building, but they're essential to get a grasp of how symbiotic, crucial this tree is.

Can't recommend enough. I'll probably reread it a couple of times in the future, to remind me how and where humans have come.
