## Description

A 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. After reading this book, a walk in the woods will never be the same again. “Breaks entirely new ground ... [Peter Wohlleben] has listened to trees and decoded their language. Now he speaks for them.”— The New York Review of Books NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BRAINPICKINGS • HONORABLE MENTION: SEJ Rachel Carson Environment Book Award • Shortlisted: Audible International Book of the Year Award • Books For a Better Life Award • Indie Choice Award—Nonfiction Book of the Year Are 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. “A declaration of love and an engrossing primer on trees, brimming with facts and an unashamed awe for nature.” —Washington Post “Heavily dusted with the glitter of wonderment.” —The New Yorker Includes a Note From a Forest Scientist by Dr.Suzanne Simard Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute

Review: Very enjoyable, engaging and accessible - I enjoyed this book very much - it certainly gives you a a different perspective on how trees grow and interact with each other and the environment. It's written in an engaging and accessible style, and structured so that you can dip in and out easily - the contents and index pages are very helpful in this respect. I actually read a couple of later chapters first as the titles sounded interesting, before returning to the beginning again. I also liked the way that page numbers are shown on the upper edges of the pages rather than at the bottom (apart from the first page in each chapter). There are a handful of good line drawings but I did feel that it was too sparsely illustrated; it's just a very minor criticism, though, as the text is the primary reason you'll buy this book - there are plenty of other books that illustrate trees in great detail. The physical quality of the book is very good, too - nice binding and paper, and a font that I found easy on the eye. As a companion to this book I also bought Understanding Roots: Discover How to Make Your Garden Flourish as I've always wondered what goes on underground - this gives a wonderful insight into the world of roots and was well worth buying too.
Review: Walking in the woods will never be quite the same again - I have to say this is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. I am biased, trees have been a big part of my life but on almost every page there is new fact which has surprised or intrigued me. It is interesting how this book has divided opinion with some people thinking much of it to be unsubstantiated and promoting ideas which are rubbish or crazy Firstly there are a lot of scientific and research papers quoted to back up statements in the book - so don't quite go along with those who complain it doesn't. Yes the author does have some quite interesting and radical views on trees and how we should view this form of life. Personally I welcomed this and it is the main reason I bought the book. There is much we don't know about trees and I suspect there will be much more we do learn in the near future. We base all our understanding and judgement of life on the fact that a central brain and nervous system must be a higher form of life than one without - because that is what we know. It does not mean other forms of life could not be just as sophisticated in a different way. You don't have to agree with the author but I found his ideas refreshing and thought provoking. If you want a boring book full of how to identify trees from leaves and bark then don't buy this. If you want a book that is going to try and make you think in a different way about the very different but fascinating life forms we share this planet with and encounter every day - then read it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating and accessible read if you’re a tree lover.
*by B***S on 21 May 2021*

The book was fascinating and gave me high level insight into trees as living beings that I had never read before. Definitely changes your view of trees in nature, farmed trees, and ornaments trees. That said, I found the overuse of anthropomorphism irritating at times. I do think it helps bring empathy and helps lay people understand the concepts, but it was used a lot. Still worth a read if you want to learn more about the natural world and it’s a very accessible book.
