There is so much stuff I love in this book. But also the authors unrelated opinions on the birth of Nazism and technocrats.
So much dribble that isn't about trees. But the joke is that the author talks about old books and frequently pokes at ancient authors putting non-factual opinions in their books. Some people have no sense of irony.

Dear Author: You only have two pages to say on the entirety of Africa? WTH

Dear Author. I came here to learn about trees, not here you ramble on about the history and politics of countries you know nothing about. I do not trust you as a good source of information on topics this disparate. And even if I did, I am interested in trees, not a random 12-page detour into your Freshman-level understanding of the history of New Zealand.

I love the topic. But so far the writing is a mixture of florid prose and academia, and I am finding it a bit of a chore.
