The key to humanity's success has been our relationship with wood, suggests Roland Ennos, who takes a sweeping ten-million-year journey from great apes who built their nests among the trees to the invention of paper and the printing press. Drawing upon anthropology and archaeology but also engineering and carpentry, Ennos enthusiastically charts how our ability to exploit wood's unique properties has transformed our homes, our transportation, and our means of communication.
