  • Eminently readable, this important book shows that forests are far more complicated than most of us might think, which means simplistic policies will not save them. Understanding the biophysical intricacies of our life-support systems just might.In today's world of specialization, people are attempting to protect the Earth's fragile state by swapping limousines for hybrids and pesticide-laced foods for organic produce. At other times, environmental awareness is translated into public relations gimmicks or trendy commodities. Moreover, simplistic policies, like single-species protection or planting ten trees for every tree cut down, are touted as bureaucratic or industrial panaceas.Because today's decisions are tomorrow's consequences, every small effort makes a difference, but a broader understanding of our environmental problems is necessary to the development of sustainable ecosystem policies. In Trees, Truffles, and Beasts, Chris Maser, Andrew W. Claridge, and James M. Trappe make a compelling case that we must first understand the complexity and interdependency of species and habitats from the microscopic level to the gigantic. Comparing forests in the Pacific Northwestern United States and Southeastern mainland of Australia, the authors show how easily observable species, trees and mammals are part of a complicated infrastructure that includes fungi, lichens, and organisms invisible to the naked eye, such as microbes.

Forests & Forestry Editorial Review

**** "Trees, Truffles, and Beasts: How Forests Function" is a compelling and intricate exploration of forest ecosystems, particularly focusing on the interactions between trees, fungi, and various wildlife. Priced at $28.99, the book is lauded for its depth of information, appealing to ecologists and agriculturists alike, although it presents a somewhat technical narrative that may require readers to engage thoughtfully with its content. The authors excel at illustrating the interconnectedness of life within the forest, detailing everything from the trees towering above to the microscopic fungi beneath the soil. The comparative analysis of forest systems in Southeast Australia and the US Northwest offers valuable insights while highlighting the complex "infrastructural processes" that sustain these environments. Readers have commented on the book's ability to deepen their understanding of essential ecological cycles, such as the role of mycorrhizal fungi, which play a critical part in tree growth and nutrient synergy. Although the scientific rigor is commendable, some feedback points to a slightly dated perspective, particularly regarding climate change. Moreover, the book's philosophical digressions may not resonate with every reader, as they can feel out of place against the otherwise factual and scientific discourse. Several readers noted that while the textbook-like writing style provides useful references, it may detract from the narrative flow. Instances of misplaced focus on the authors' absolute views on evolution and environmental advocacy might detract from the book for some. Overall, "Trees, Truffles, and Beasts" stands out as a significant contribution to the literature on old-growth forests. It is best suited for those already familiar with the subject who seek to deepen their understanding, rather than for novices. With its rich detail and complexity, the book promises a rewarding experience for those eager to dig into the science of forest systems and the fascinating organisms that inhabit them. **Pros and Cons:** **
