Some of the best writing I experience is on HCR’s comments page. Yours is at the top of the list. It is a pleasure to read not just for the content, but for the literary skill. Thank you for this and for ways to spend my 3 Audible credits!

Easier said than done Maia! Some of the best in Keith's smorgasbord don't seem to be available on Audible, but Brave Companions is, so I have downloaded it. I will listen to it next after THE MOTHER TREE, a fascinating book by Suzanne Simard which describes how trees and forests think and support each other (no, not whacky at all!). Not strictly about history - yet it is in a way because it is to do with the way that we mismanage nature. Apologies for the aside, but many of the HCR comments wander delightfully away from the main subject in hand.

I liked the Ents in the Middle Earth Trilogy. I’ve always felt trees have voices of sentinels.
You might enjoy Braiding Sweetgrass, a Native American POV of non-human people.
In the cart, Hope. Thank you.
I read the reviews, and I bought on Audible. Read by the author, I always like that best. Fascinating so far! Got The Discoverers too.
(Not on Audible)
We might have to get a room for a book club!
Are you listening to this Keith?
Not only not whacky but science is now supporting the importance of the below ground connectivity and communication among trees, not limited to trees of a single species but in a community of trees. Two more excellent books, one fiction and one non-fiction, referenced in this article: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/mother-trees-are-intelligent-they-learn-and-remember/
