Sinossi
Un racconto esuberante di artigianato per gli amanti della natura e per gli amanti della vita all'aria aperta ovunque Robert Penn ha tagliato un frassino per vedere quante cose si potevano ricavare da esso. Dopotutto, il frassino è l'albero di cui abbiamo fatto il più grande e vario uso nel corso della storia umana. Viaggiando dal Galles attraverso l'Europa e l'Irlanda fino agli Stati Uniti, Robert scopre che le antiche competenze e conoscenze delle proprietà del frassino, sviluppate nel corso di millenni per realizzare ruote e frecce, mobili e mazze da baseball, sono tutt'altro che morte. Il libro racconta come l'impulso a comprendere e apprezzare gli alberi ci pervada ancora tutti come le venature del legno.

Informazioni sull?autore
Robert Penn is a journalist, woodsman, lifelong cyclist and the author of several books including the Sunday Times bestseller It's All About the Bike and The Man Who Made Things Out of Trees. He lives in the Black Mountains, South Wales with his wife, three children, two spaniels, twelve bicycles and a collection of axes. He bakes his own bread in a wood-fired oven.
Dalla quarta di copertina
Robert Penn cut down an ash tree to see how many things could be made from it. After all, ash is the tree we have made the greatest and most varied use of over the course of human history. Journeying from Wales across Europe and Ireland to the USA, Robert finds that the ancient skills and knowledge of the properties of ash, developed over millennia making wheels and arrows, furniture and baseball bats, are far from dead. The book chronicles how the urge to understand and appreciate trees still runs through us all like grain through wood.
