Sunday Times Bestseller 'A paradigm-smashing chronicle of joyous
entanglement' Charles Foster Waterstones Non-Fiction Book of the
Month (September) 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.
