Oak: The Frame of Civilization by William Bryant Logan For centuries, oak trees have played a vital role in human history, supporting us in nearly every aspect of life. From the materials used to create art and architecture to the tools that helped shape our world, oak has been an integral part of our past. This book tells the story of the reciprocal relationship between humans and oak trees since time immemorial. With reverence, humor, and compassion, William Bryant Logan explores the many ways in which oak has contributed to civilization, from the development of music and transportation to the creation of shelter and sustenance.
