Bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben,
invites you to reconnect with nature As soon as we step out of the
door, nature surrounds. Thousands of small and large processes are
taking place, details that are long often fascinating and
beautiful. But we've long forgotten how to recognise them. Peter
Wohlleben, bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees, invites
us to become an expert, to take a closer look and interpret the
signs that clouds, wind, plants and animals convey. Chaffinches
become weather prophets, bees are live thermometers, courgettes
tell us the time. The Weather Detective combines scientific
research with charming anecdotes to explain the extraordinary
cycles of life, death and regeneration that are evolving on our
doorstep, bringing us closer to nature than ever before. A walk in
the park will never be the same again.
