The True Life of the Forest
Dr. Diana Beresford-Kroeger, botanist, medical biochemist, writer and
broadcaster, combines medical training with a love of botany. She is an
expert on the medicinal, environmental and nutritional properties of
trees, and author most recently of The Global Forest. When her parents
died, she was raised by an uncle who taught her everything from physics
to Buddhism and Gaelic poetry. She was one of only two women to graduate
in science from University College Cork in 1963, where she had taken on
a "crushing load of studies in classical botany, molecular biology,
mathematics, and medical biochemistry". She shares more in this
fascinating interview.
