Summary:
"A startling essay collection charting the world's history through holes in the ground, rings across wood, mountains, figs, and a body's evolution. Essays move from her rural Canadian childhood to a desert in Niger, where "The Loneliest Tree in the World" once grew. Deeply thought and wholly original, Limber asks what it means to live on our inherited planet"-- Provided by publisher.
