The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate—Discoveries from a Secret World



Here is wonderful book written by German forest ranger Peter Wohlleben that is sure to captivate you. According to Peter Wohlleben like human families, tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, and support them as they grow. Peter explores the science behind the secret and previously unknown life of trees and their communication abilities. He adds "They can count, learn and remember; nurse sick neighbors; warn each other of danger by sending electrical signals across a fungal network known as the 'Wood Wide Web' – and, for reasons unknown, keep the ancient stumps of long-felled companions alive for centuries by feeding them a sugar solution through their roots."

The English edition of the book would be available for sale only from September 13. I was privileged to see portions of English translation. Great stuff. The book is a runaway bestseller in Europe.
