The Oldest Living Things In The World
The result of over 10 years of research and travel, The Oldest Living Things In The World is an ode to organisms that were on the planet long before us. Artist and author Rachel Sussman photographed these unique creatures, and relays insights from scientists alongside stories of the adventures she had tracking them down. From an 80,000-year-old colony of aspen in Utah to a 43,600-year-old shrub in Tasmania, this 300-page hardcover spans the globe to bring us a look at the Earth's oldest inhabitants like we've never seen them before.
