"As you read these pages you will understand why I so admire [Peter
Wohlleben] and am so in love with his work."--JANE GOODALL
Nature is full of surprises: deciduous trees affect the rotation of the
Earth, cranes sabotage the production of Iberian ham, and coniferous
forests can make it rain. But what are the processes that drive these
incredible phenomena? And why do they matter?
In The Secret Wisdom of Nature, master storyteller and international
sensation Peter Wohlleben takes readers on a thought-provoking
exploration of the vast natural systems that make life on Earth
possible. In this tour of an almost unfathomable world, Wohlleben
describes the fascinating interplay between animals and plants and
answers such questions as: How do they influence each other? Do
lifeforms communicate across species boundaries? And what happens when
this finely tuned system gets out of sync? By introducing us to the
latest scientific discoveries and recounting his own insights from
decades of observing nature, one of the world's most famous foresters
shows us how to recapture our sense of awe so we can see the world
around us with completely new eyes.
