The German bestseller The Secret Life of Trees has been on the bestseller list for the second year running and is gaining enthusiastic readers in more and more countries. For many of us, the forest is a desired resting place. It is synonymous with silence and untouched nature. Renowned forester Peter Wohlleben gives us an insight into the hidden life of trees and reveals unexpected facts: trees have memory, they transmit information, they feel pain, they can even get heatstroke and they develop wrinkles over time. Many trees, such as oaks, communicate with each other through scents. The moment one of the trees is attacked by an insect, it emits a scent as a signal, alerting all trees in the vicinity to the danger. Peter Wohlleben draws on his many years of experience as a forester and shows us the forest from a completely new side. 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 Havel. In Germany alone, 500,000 copies were sold within a year of publication, and translation rights have been sold to 27 countries so far.
