The Hidden Life of Trees. What They Feel, How They Communicate — The Discovery of a Secret World

The forest is a familiar and everyday miracle. A supplier of wood and oxygen, a habitat for many living organisms, the birthplace of fairy tales and legends, it seems so familiar and understandable. However, how much do we really know about the trees themselves, their feelings and relationships? How do they communicate with each other, and can we learn their language? What distinguishes city trees from their forest relatives? Is there a connection between trees of different generations? All these questions are answered simply and accessibly by forester Peter Wohlleben from Western Germany — a specialist with many years of experience and author of numerous popular books about nature.
The book is addressed to biologists, ecologists, and all those who love nature.
The book is a winner in the category of “Popular Science Literature” of the German MERK Translation Prize 2018.
