Sunday Times Bestseller 'A paradigm-smashing chronicle of joyous
entanglement' Charles Foster Are trees social beings? How do trees live? Do
they feel pain or have awareness of their surroundings? In The Hidden Life
of Trees Peter Wohlleben makes the case that 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. A walk in the woods will never be the same
again.
