Staff Picks: A Walk in the Park
Second Floor
“'Step out into the forest. Breathe deeply. How do you feel?' Peter Wohlleben poses this question in The Hidden Life of Trees, highlighted here in this month’s staff picks. It’s a question I like think about when I wander outdoors—whether strolling in a New York City greenspace, hiking in a national park, or sitting in my parents’ backyard garden. Nothing can quite imitate the serenity or adventure of being immersed in nature, but this collection aims to bring some of that outdoor splendor indoors. The works selected showcase a diverse mix of perspectives: great artists, writers, essayists, park designers and historians share their depictions of nature's wonders—and how we interact and connect with them. For those craving to escape to your own oasis—be it tranquil garden or untamed forest—we hope this collection can transport you there."
