Paperback Edition.\n\nAre 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 that he has observed in his woodland.\n\n“A declaration of love and an engrossing primer on trees, brimming with facts and an unashamed awe for nature.”—Washington Post\n\nA NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER • One of the most beloved books of our time: an illuminating account of the forest, and the science that shows us how trees communicate, feel, and live in social networks.

Wohlleben uses such terms in an effort to make science accessible to everyone, not just other scientists.\nA forester and a storyteller: as one reviewer said, Wohlleben talks about forests \"in a way we've never heard before. Not in the sober language of science but in the rapturous language of love\"\nTies to folklore and ancient wisdom: The science supports age-old wisdom and lore about trees.","brand":"VisionWorks LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43278232387682,"sku":"2-HID34","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/9416\/7394\/files\/c5dcd8ee7e3f039bc87504d60654878b79d0f03bc93ed142fb178096bf7e8c3d.jpg?v=1788284209","url":"https:\/\/brunosbooksandbeans.com\/products\/the-hidden-life-of-trees-what-they-feel-communicate-paper","provider":"Bruno's Books \u0026 Beans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
