The Last Snow Gum: Loving and saving the most precious tree on Earth, and ourselves
Formats & Editions
Snow gums are the most beautiful trees on Earth. But they're vanishing quickly. In this stunning new book, bestselling author Anthony Sharwood and climate activist Anna Langford help us view Australia's unique high country with fresh eyes, show us what's being lost, what can be saved - and how we might just save ourselves in the process.
From Anthony Sharwood, the bestselling author of From Snow to Ash and Kosciuszko, and Anna Langford, an exciting new voice in nature writing, comes the detailed and fascinating story of snow gums and the people trying to save them. This is an Australian story - and it's also a global story. Because snow gums are the canary in the global climate coalmine.
Through the fate of this one exquisite mountain tree species which exists in a small corner of the flattest, driest inhabited continent on Earth, we gain a terrifying snapshot of the future of biodiversity across the world.
Yet this is also a story of hope and inspiration - and phenomenal, unearthly, impossible beauty. This highly readable and compelling book shows why snow gums must be saved at all costs.
Because if we save snow gums, we might just save ourselves too.
