Did you know that trees can be friends, hug, and communicate with one another? That they warn each other about attacks, droughts, and other dangers? That the forest world is a social network, incredibly similar to human families?
In the book “The Hidden Life of Trees,” Peter Wohlleben draws on research from scientists around the world, as well as his long experience as a forester, to open for us the secret, complex and carefully organized world. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in how nature works—and after listening to it, a walk in the forest will never be the same.
“The Hidden Life of Trees” is the winner in the “Popular Science Literature” category of the German MERK Translation Prize 2018.
