With more than 2 million copies sold worldwide, this beautifully written, New York Times-bestselling book journeys deep into the forest to uncover the fascinating--and surprisingly moving--hidden life of trees.
" Peter] Wohlleben has delighted readers and talk-show audiences alike with the news--long known to biologists--that trees in the forest are social beings."
--The New York Times
Are trees social beings? In The Hidden Life of Trees forester and author Peter Wohlleben convincingly makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland.
After learning about the complex life of trees, a walk in the woods will never be the same again.
Includes a Note From a Forest Scientist, by Dr.Suzanne Simard
