  In Larry Nivens book 'The Integral Tree' I don't understand the 'gravity'. In
the tree tufts there is 'gravity' and in the mid-trunk area there is zero g. How is
this possible. The tree doesn't rotate end for end, one end is always toward Voy.
Can anyone out there explain it in a relatively simple manner?

P.S. I thought it odd that in the seamingly male oriented society on London Tree
that the Scientists Aprentice was female.
