Grand, yet humble, stoic yet present - every human culture, and animal culture I might add, celebrates the tree as a life-giving force.

Daniel Lewis's new book Twelve Trees shares why we connect so strongly with trees and whether a tree as ubiquitous as the blue gum can be special even when it is so common. 

Guest: Professor Daniel Lewis, author ‘Twelve Trees: The Deep Roots of our Future’
