Overview
High above our heads in the forest canopy is a whole other world. And scientists couldn't fully study it from the ground. How do you study the top of ninety-foot-tall trees? Armed with a homemade slingshot and harness and a climbing rope, pioneering tree scientist Meg Lowman set out to discover the "eighth continent."
In this memoir, Meg explores how her childhood fascination with nature turned into a lifelong passion for tree sciences that has taken her around the world―from her college studies of birch trees in Scotland, to building canopy walkways in Australia, to hosting a BioBlitz to find out how many species live in Malaysian forests.
