From the New York Times bestselling author of The Hidden Life of
Trees A powerful return to the forest, where trees have heartbeats
and roots are like brains that extend underground. Where the color
green calms us, and the forest sharpens our senses. In The
Heartbeat of Trees, renowned forester Peter Wohlleben draws on new
scientific discoveries to show how humans are deeply connected to
the natural world. In an era of cell phone addiction, climate
change, and urban life, many of us fear we've lost our connection
to nature-but Peter Wohlleben is convinced that age-old ties
linking humans to the forest remain alive and intact. Drawing on
science and cutting-edge research, The Heartbeat of Trees reveals
the profound interactions humans can have with nature, exploring:
the language of the forest the consciousness of plants and the
eroding boundary between flora and fauna. A perfect book to take
with you into the woods, The Heartbeat of Trees shares how to see,
feel, smell, hear, and even taste the forest. Peter Wohlleben,
renowned for his ability to write about trees in an engaging and
moving way, reveals a wondrous cosmos where humans are a part of
nature, and where conservation and environmental activism is not
just about saving trees-it's about saving ourselves, too. Praise
for The Heartbeat of Trees "As human beings, we're desperate to
feel that we're not alone in the universe. And yet we are
surrounded by an ongoing conversation that we can sense if, as
Peter Wohlleben so movingly prescribes, we listen to the heartbeat
of all life." -Richard Louv, author of Our Wild Calling and Last
Child in the Woods "Astonishment after astonishment-that is the
great gift of The Heartbeat of Trees. It is both a celebration of
the wonders of trees, and a howl of outrage at how recklessly we
profane them." -Kathleen Dean Moore, author of Earth's Wild Music
"As Peter Wohlleben reminds us in The Heartbeat of Trees, trees are
the vocabulary of nature as forests are the brainbank of a living
planet. This was the codex of the ancient world, and it must be the
fine focus of our future." -Dr. Diana Beresford-Kroeger, author of
To Speak for the Trees and The Global Forest "Peter Wohlleben knows
the battle that lies before us: forging a closer relationship with
nature before we destroy it. In The Heartbeat of Trees he takes us
deep into the global forest to show us how."-Jim Robbins, author of
The Man Who Planted Trees Published in Partnership with the David
Suzuki Institute.
