Summary Note |
"In an era of mobile phone addiction, climate change, and urban life, 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. 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." - Back cover. |
