Expanding on the style of the \u003ci\u003eField Atlas\u003c\/i\u003e, Kaufmann tells an epic story that spans millions of years, nearly one hundred species of trees, and an astonishing richness of ecosystems. \u003ci\u003eThe Forests of California\u003c\/i\u003e is the first volume in a planned trilogy of field atlases, with \u003ci\u003eThe Coasts of California\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Deserts of California\u003c\/i\u003e to follow, and Kaufmann seeks to create nothing less than a new understanding of the more-than-human world. The lessons in this book extend well beyond California’s borders.
