The essential question of how to grow wise is explored in In Trees: An Exploration (Simon & Schuster Canada $39.99), the newest book from journalist and New York Times bestselling author Robert Moor. Moor, hailed as a “philosopher on foot,” chronicles his decade-long, globe-spanning adventure in pursuit of the wisdom of trees, which takes him from climbing a giant sequoia to sleeping in a chimpanzee nest. The book encourages readers to embrace “tree-thinking” to address humanity’s gnarled past and ever-branching future of the oldest question: “What is the secret to truly growing old?” A graduate of Brown University and NYU, Moor is a frequent contributor to major publications like The New Yorker and Harper’s and his prior book, On Trails (Simon & Schuster, 2016), won the Saroyan Prize. 9781668222607
