“A paradigm-smashing chronicle of joyous entanglement that will make you acknowledge your own entanglement in the ancient and ever-new web of being.”—Charles Foster, author of Being a BeastAre trees social beings? In this international bestseller, forester and author Peter Wohlleben convincingly makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland.After learning about the complex life of trees, a walk in the woods will never be the same again.Includes a Note From a Forest Scientist, by Dr.Suzanne Simard

Wohlleben is a charming guide to magical, but very real, world. I haven't been able to look at a tree the same since reading this book.

The moment I started reading this book I couldn't stop. The science behind it is fascinating, but the storytelling adds so much more to it. Loved it!!

Informative and thoughtful, a fascinating read. Wohlleben skillfully weaves story with science to reveal what really goes on in the woods.

Engagingly written and full of fascinating information about tree communication. The best thing I've read all year!

Once again the pain of a chatty ghost writer from Cosmo magazine buries what might have been a good read. Suitable for 14 year olds, maybe. I had to give up 1/3 the way through.
