Unearthing the power of trees

Day 6 of #SciBookWishList features The Book of Trees by Manuel Lma

In the scientific world, trees are used to map information in numerous scientific domains, such as biology, genetics, sociology, linguistics and information visualisation.

Trees influenced how we organise our thoughts, communicate and link ideas.

This book unearths why we have an obsession with trees as metaphors for organisation and hierarchical information, and it’s so jam-packed full of engaging content, it’s hard to put it down.
