The Secret Wisdom of Nature: Trees, Animals, and the Extraordinary Balance of All Living Things -― Stories from Science and Observation (The Mysteries of Nature, 3)
Description
“As you read these pages you will understand why I so admire [Peter Wohlleben]
and am so in love with his work.”—JANE GOODALLNature is full of surprises:
deciduous trees affect the rotation of the Earth, cranes sabotage the
production of Iberian ham, and coniferous forests can make it rain. But what
are the processes that drive these incredible phenomena? And why do they
matter?In The Secret Wisdom of Nature, master storyteller and international
sensation Peter Wohlleben takes readers on a thought-provoking exploration of
the vast natural systems that make life on Earth possible. In this tour of an
almost unfathomable world, Wohlleben describes the fascinating interplay
between animals and plants and answers such questions as: How do they
influence each other? Do lifeforms communicate across species boundaries? And
what happens when this finely tuned system gets out of sync? By introducing us
to the latest scientific discoveries and recounting his own insights from
decades of observing nature, one of the world’s most famous foresters shows us
how to recapture our sense of awe so we can see the world around us with
completely new eyes.Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.
