THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER'A wonderful book' - Tristan Gooley, author of How To Read A Tree'Unique and thrilling' - Ben Rawlance, author of The Treeline'A celebration of the oak as nature's masterpiece' - Daniel Lewis, author of Twelve Trees'A glorious, revelatory tale of a tree that enlarges our world' - Patrick Barkham, author of The Butterfly IslesThe enchanting biography of an ancient tree.

For over two centuries, as rulers have risen and fallen and wars have raged, one majestic oak tree has lived out an epic drama. From germination in 1780 to adapting to the changing climate of the modern age, its struggles and triumphs took place far from human eyes. That is, until one day a young man named Laurent Tillon came across it, and a decades-long relationship began ... In this dazzling book, biodiversity expert Tillon narrates the story of the tree he calls Quercus. Evoking the richness which is all around us, he reveals that Quercus is embedded in a network of ever-shifting relationships, from close alliances between plants and animals to battles between insects, birds and fungi.

A book of ecology unlike any other, Being An Oak offers a tree-eyed view of life on earth.

Translated by the award-winning translator Jessica Moore.

Dermatologist-Recommended, Gentle Coverage with Added Sun Protection
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This Eucerin Tinted Moisturizer was recommended to me by my dermatologist after having MOHS surgery performed on my face twice. At that point, sun protection became non-negotiable. He felt that the moisturizer with SPF 30 that was already part of my skincare routine was not sufficient on its own and suggested adding this product for better daily protection. I’m so glad I followed his advice. This tinted moisturizer provides lightweight, natural-looking coverage that evens out my skin tone without feeling heavy or settling into fine lines. It blends easily and leaves my skin looking healthy and polished, not made-up. What I appreciate most is how hydrating and gentle it is. My skin can be sensitive, especially after procedures, and this has caused no irritation or breakouts. It wears comfortably all day and layers well with other skincare products when needed. The coverage is sheer, so it won’t replace foundation if you want full coverage, but it’s perfect for everyday wear and gives me the confidence to step out with minimal makeup while knowing my skin is protected. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has sensitive skin, a history of skin cancer or procedures, or who simply wants reliable sun protection with a natural finish.

The Lazy Makeup Day MVP
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This has become my easy low-maintenance face day product. It gives just enough tint to even things out while still giving solid SPF coverage, so I can skip foundation without feeling totally bare-faced. The finish feels lightweight, my skin stays comfortable all day, and the color blended into my skin way better than I expected from a “universal” tint.

Overall good aesthetic result for mineral sunscreen, but some downsides
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It is quite good overall, it blends in perfectly to my medium-light warm tone skin. There is no white tint. It seems effective in terms of SFP and doesn't leave a greasy or heavy feel, ends up looking lightly glowy but reasonably dry to the touch. I'm not sure you'd want to apply it thick enough to substitute for foundation. What I don't like - Like makeup the color can rub off on clothes etc. - Doesn't seem to reapply very well, leads to pilling, and also rubbing my face at all leads to pilling. It's very "don't touch it again after you applied once" - Quite hard to remove with normal cleanser, I think I might need to remove it with oil or something?

Way too heavy & greasy for combination skin
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Ugh this tinted sunscreen is such a let-down. I was excited to find an option that's a mineral sunscreen, with tinting that's supposed to work for all skin tones, is made with non-comedogenic ingredients, and is a more reasonable price than what my old tinted sunscreen now costs. I saw mixed reviews on the greasiness / heaviness of this sunscreen, but decided to give it a try, especially because I have combo skin that gets pretty dry in the winter... but wish I had listened to the people who said this is overwhelmingly thick. Pros: the tint works fairly well for my light-to-medium warm-toned skin (although you can see in my video it doesn't blend at all well with my hand's skin tone... so can't imagine this will be universal), it doesn't irritate my combination skin that can be very sensitive, and hasn't blocked my pores. Cons: This feels like I'm smearing peanut butter on my face - it is such a thick and oily consistency. I have combination skin, with some areas that are especially dry right now in a northern winter climate... but this is not what I would call "moisturizing" - it's greasiness that is impossible to rub in, doesn’t dry down, and instead just sits on the skin (and I'm not even using close to the amount of sunscreen you're supposed to in order to get the true SPF coverage). I use tinted sunscreen to replace the need for a BB cream or foundation, and this unfortunately would never be appropriate for everyday wear.
