An instant New York Times bestseller
More than 3 million copies sold worldwide
The book that launched the career of world-famous forester, Peter Wohlleben
Changed the way we think about trees: Wohlleben explains the social networks and inner lives of trees in accessible, clear language that anyone can relate to
Fascinating science: for instance, if a giraffe starts eating an African acacia tree, the tree releases a chemical signaling other trees in the area that protect themselves by producing a toxic chemical
Controversial approach: the scientific community is divided about how to label the recent discoveries of plant & tree science, and whether terms like "feeling' and "communicating" are too anthropomorphic. Wohlleben uses such terms in an effort to make science accessible to everyone, not just other scientists.
A forester and a storyteller: as one reviewer said, Wohlleben talks about forests "in a way we've never heard before. Not in the sober language of science but in the rapturous language of love"
Ties to folklore and ancient wisdom: The science supports age-old wisdom and lore about trees
