The Secret Wisdom of Nature
The Secret Wisdom of Nature: Trees, Animals, and the Extraordinary Balance of All Living Things - Stories from Science and Observation | Peter Wohlleben
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
The final book in The Mysteries of Nature trilogy by the New York Times bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben. Nature is full of surprises: deciduous trees affect the rotation of the Earth, cranes sabotage the production of Iberian ham, and coniferous forests can make it rain. But what are the processes that drive these incredible phenomena? And why do they matter? In The Secret Wisdom of Nature, master storyteller and international sensation Peter Wohlleben takes readers on a thought-provoking exploration of the vast natural systems that make life on Earth possible. In this tour of an almost unfathomable world, Wohlleben describes the fascinating interplay between animals and plants and answers such questions as: How do they influence each other? Do lifeforms communicate across species boundaries? And what happens when this finely tuned system gets out of sync? By introducing us to the latest scientific discoveries and recounting his own insights from decades of observing nature, one of the worlds most famous foresters shows us how to recapture our sense of awe so we can see the world around us with completely new eyes. Published in partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.

One of the best descriptions of how nature works together in our world today. I listened to the audiobook. The book was so good, I forgot about the crafting project I wanted to complete because I was so invested in listening to the words. If you have a love for nature, this is a must read! 5🌟

gradcat @Crazeedi Thank you so much! I‘m trying desperately to lose weight, and I‘ve had a very positive week. Today is my day to fast. It‘s difficult for me to do much walking, because my knees are shot, but I do exercise in the swimming pool. 6y
Minispok Awesome! 6y

Caterina Yay what a great start to the challenge!! 🙌 What do you think of the audiobook so far? 6y
Crazeedi @gradcat if you arent in challenge officially, you could just make your goals and email me o can encourage you!! 6y
Crazeedi @Caterina well it was kinda hard to listen to as I was paying attention to where I was walking, and the reader is British, so you really have to pay attention, the subject matter I'm interested in, so I'll give it a couple more walks before I dump it! 6y
Caterina Yeah it took me a while even after I started listening to audiobooks before I could listen while walking, it's tricky to focus on both! 6y
Crazeedi @Caterina that's what I'm finding out, btw great group name!!! 6y
gradcat @Crazeedi I‘m going to read your email now. Maybe I can get into the next round. 🤷🏽‍♀️ 6y
