The Heartbeat of Trees

by Peter Wohlleben - £9.99  HarperCollins Publishers (2022)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780008436056 | ISBN 10: 0008436053

"A simultaneously stimulating and soothing blend of nature writing and science... Strongly encourages tree hugging for our own, human sake"
(Guardian Summer Reads 2021)
A powerful return to the forest, where trees have heartbeats and roots are like brains that extend underground. Where the colour green calms us, and the forest sharpens our senses.
 
In The Heartbeat of Trees, renowned forester Peter Wohlleben draws on new scientific discoveries to show how humans are deeply connected to the natural world. In an era of climate change, many of us fear we’ve lost our connection to nature, but Wohlleben is convinced that age-old ties linking humans to the forest remain alive and intact. We just have to know where to look.
 
Drawing on science and cutting-edge research, The Heartbeat of Trees reveals the profound interactions humans can have with nature, exploring:
 
* the language of the forest
* the consciousness of plants
* and the eroding boundary between flora and fauna
 
A perfect book to take with you into the woods, The Heartbeat of Trees shares how to see, feel, smell, hear, and even taste the forest. Peter Wohlleben, renowned for his ability to write about trees in an engaging and moving way, reveals a wondrous cosmos where humans are a part of nature, and where conservation and environmental activism is not just about saving trees, it’s about saving ourselves, too.
