Ugh!! One of my favorites of all time. Every time I read it I almost have to quit my job and become an arborist so I can climb trees for a living. I am absolutely fascinated by the subject but equally impressed by Richard Preston's ability to weave a narrative directly from reality so that it reads so delightfully like a novel. You couldn't make this stuff up.
