After The Serviceberry
Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard
If The Serviceberry's reciprocity wrecked your faith in competition, wait until you meet the underground fungal highways that prove cooperation built the forest. Simard's decades in the soil yielded data that reads like poetry—mother trees don't hoard, they nurture, distributing resources with a generosity that dismantles every scarcity myth you've swallowed. This is botanical science as spiritual balm for the eco-anxious urbanite.
