Forests are his work, working with trees is his life. When Peter Wohlleben writes about the forest, he writes with his head and heart, which is why his books "The Secret Life of Trees" and "The Emotional Life of Animals" are bestsellers. But at the core, he still remains a forester, an expert, with the aim of passing on and sharing as much information as possible about the forest and nature in general, so that people can love and protect them more. In this book, he guides us on a journey into the forest and summarizes what we might want to ask, and offers a rich supply of new stimuli. He shares his knowledge with us, as always thoroughly, readably and with the humorous perspective of someone who is always at home in the forest. It presents individual trees and how to tell them apart, how to track and observe animals, how to dress appropriately, how to secure wood, what to be afraid of and not to be afraid of or where to hide. That you've already been in the forest a thousand times and didn't need a guide? What do elms have in common with ash trees, why are white firs, although conifers, essentially deciduous trees? Are you afraid of tapeworms from your cat? Do you know that trees grow fat overnight? Peter Wohlleben talks about fox dens as old as medieval half-timbered houses, birches that fall into a deep sleep at night, and also the mothering skills of forest beeches. All you have to do is read for a while, and the journey to the forest will once again turn into an adventure that you may have long forgotten or haven't discovered yet.
