    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In the heart of the twentieth century, when America wrestled with racial injustice and foreign wars, a legend was born who would shake the world—not merely with his fists, but with his unwavering conscience. 
    This is the extraordinary journey of Muhammad Ali. 
    From Cassius Clay, a young boy in Kentucky whose stolen bicycle became the catalyst for greatness, to Muhammad Ali, the three-time heavyweight champion who stood against the most powerful government on earth. This audiobook chronicles the rise of a man who transformed boxing from simple sport into a theater of social revolution. 
    Witness the making of "The Greatest"—his Olympic triumph, the shocking upset of Sonny Liston, his conversion to Islam, and his principled stand against the Vietnam War that cost him the prime years of his career. Experience the legendary "Rumble in the Jungle" against George Foreman, where Ali crafted the immortal "rope-a-dope" strategy that stunned the world. 
    But this is more than a sports biography. It's the story of a poet-warrior who declared "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" and lived those words both in the ring and in life. A man who proved that true courage isn't measured by victories, but by standing firm on principle when everything is at stake. 
    Muhammad Ali didn't just fight opponents—he fought injustice, racism, and war itself. 
    Through intimate details never before told, discover how a young man afraid of flying became the most fearless voice of his generation. How he transformed pain into purpose, anger into justice, and became a symbol of human dignity that transcends sport, race, and time. 
    This is the definitive story of Muhammad Ali... The Greatest forever.

    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.
