The secret life of trees

The German bestseller The Secret Life of Trees is now in its second year on the bestseller list and is gaining enthusiastic readers in more and more countries.
For many of us, the forest is a longed-for place of rest. It is synonymous with silence and untouched nature. Renowned forester Peter Wohlleben gives us a glimpse into the hidden life of trees and reveals unexpected facts: Trees have memory, they transmit information, they feel pain, they can even get sunstroke, and over time they develop wrinkles. Many trees, such as oaks, communicate with each other through fragrances. When a tree is attacked by insects, it sends out scents as signals and alerts all the trees in the vicinity to the danger. Peter Wohlleben draws on his many years of experience as a forester to show us a whole new side of the forest. His entertaining book, full of new information about trees and forests, makes us marvel at the wonders of nature. In an excellent translation by PhDr. Magdalena Havlová.
800,000 copies have been sold in Germany alone and the translation rights have been sold to 27 countries so far.
