From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers's twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours--fast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.","brand":"Richard Powers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":49979278393701,"sku":"9781039000681","price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2651\/2997\/files\/BNCImageAPI_bd2b6d46-aa17-42aa-b641-e3b478fbb9fe.jpg?v=1759417835","url":"https:\/\/www.commonplaceingersoll.ca\/products\/9781039000681","provider":"Commonplace Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
