  Throughout history, science has been a beacon of progress, propelling humanity toward a future once thought impossible. However, as much as scientific achievement has illuminated the path forward, it has also cast a shadow—one where the pursuit of knowledge and power has led to some of the most disturbing and infamous endeavors. The "mad scientist" archetype has captivated popular imagination for centuries, blending genius with madness in a way that explores the fine line between brilliance and obsession. While these figures may seem extreme, the complexities of their lives and work reflect deeper questions about the nature of discovery, ethics, and human ambition. 
    
  The concept of the mad scientist is not merely the product of fictional tales; it stems from the real stories of individuals whose obsessions with pushing scientific boundaries led them down dark, often dangerous paths. These figures were driven by an unyielding desire to unravel the mysteries of nature, sometimes at the cost of human life, moral integrity, and societal norms. They exemplify how the quest for knowledge, unmoored from ethical considerations, can easily slip into unethical practices. The line between innovation and madness is often blurred when the desire for progress supersedes compassion, respect, and accountability. 
    
  This book examines five of the most notorious individuals whose scientific endeavors left indelible marks on history, not for their contributions to the betterment of mankind, but for their reckless or ethically questionable experiments. These men, although different in time, place, and method, shared an obsession with achieving greatness—regardless of the personal or moral cost. Their stories reveal the dual-edged sword of scientific curiosity, showing that what is hailed as genius in one moment can be viewed as madness in another.

  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.
