Summary

Aristotle was a prominent Greek philosopher and polymath of the Classical era in Ancient Greece. His extensive writings span various fields, including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theater, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics, politics, and government.

"The Nicomachean Ethics" explores the fundamental question of how individuals can live the best possible life.

In "Metaphysics," Aristotle delves into the nature of being, seeking to understand what can be said about any entity purely in terms of its existence, rather than its particular characteristics.

"Poetics" stands as the earliest surviving work dedicated to dramatic theory and is the first known philosophical treatise on literary theory.
In "Rhetoric," Aristotle identifies rhetoric as one of the three essential components of philosophy, alongside logic and dialectic.

"On Sense and the Sensible" is part of the Parva Naturalia, a collection of short treatises, and focuses on sensory perception.

"On Memory and Reminiscence" continues this exploration of how the senses contribute to memory.

"On Dreams" investigates whether dreams are related to the faculty of thought or to sense perception, while

"On Prophesying by Dreams" discusses the phenomenon of dreams that seem to predict the future.

"On Youth and Old Age" contrasts the dispositions of youth and old age, ultimately suggesting that middle age represents the ideal condition.

In "On Longevity and Shortness of Life," Aristotle examines the factors that contribute to the longevity of living beings, questioning whether a single cause exists or if the causes differ between plants and animals.

"On Life and Death" looks at living organisms as consumers of food, which sustains them and, in some cases, enables higher functions like mental perception.

    Journalist Marguerite Holloway arrives at the Women's Tree Climbing Workshop as a climbing novice, but with a passion for trees and a deep concern about their future. Run by twin sister tree doctors Bear LeVangie and Melissa LeVangie Ingersoll, the workshop helps people develop impressive technical skills and ascend into the canopy. As Holloway tackles unfamiliar equipment and dizzying heights, she learns about the science of trees and tells the stories of charismatic species, including hemlock, aspen, Atlantic white cedar, oak, and beech. She spotlights experts who are chronicling the great dying that is underway in forests around the world as trees face simultaneous and accelerating threats from drought, heat, floods, disease, and other disruptions. 
 
 
 
As she climbs, Holloway also comes to understand the profound significance of trees in her relationship with her late mother and brother. The book's rousing final chapter offers something new: a grander environmental and arboreal optimism, in which the story of trees and their resilience meshes with that of people working to steward the forests of the future, and of community found among fellow tree climbers. A lyrical work of memoir and reportage, Take to the Trees sounds the alarm about rapid arboreal decline while also offering hope about how we might care for our forests and ourselves.
