The Secrets of Trees

Plants, and especially trees, are the most amazing beings in the world! They can do almost everything we can, just in a completely different way! Yes, trees, like us, see (perceive light and react to it), feel touch and wind, taste (for example, water), and can feel pain. They can measure time, communicate with each other, be friends and foes. How to ‘overhear’ a conversation of trees, how to witness the silent battle between a spruce and an oak, how to recognize the enemies and friends of a tree — all this will be told in an engaging book with beautiful illustrations.

You will also learn how to identify trees and describe an unfamiliar tree, how trees reproduce, how they spread seeds, which animals cannot live without trees, and how trees depend on animals. You will read about how trees breathe, nourish themselves, and what happens after their death. And, of course, the book pays great attention to how trees help us, humans, and the entire planet: they not only release oxygen but also protect the soil, regulate temperature, and serve science, art, and religion.
