Some of the topics we'll discuss are:
+ Has reading this book changed the way to see trees?

+ Why do you think Power's led with the story of the chestnut trees?

+ Each major character in the book is associated with a tree, what did you make of this?

+ What is the significance of the worlds Neelay creates within his game, "Mastery"?

+ Patricia asks, "What's the single best thing a person can do for tomorrow's world?" How would you answer this?

+ What is your opinion of "direct action" as a means of effective activism? Did reading this book change your opinion?

+ What do you make of the title?

+ What does this book mean for us as herbalists?
