In <em>The Hidden Life of Trees</em> forester and author Peter Wohlleben convincingly makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network.

Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland.</p><p>After learning about the complex life of trees, a walk in the woods will never be the same again.</p><p><em>Includes a Note From a Forest Scientist, by Dr.Suzanne Simard</em></p><p><strong>Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute</strong></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <p>"The matter-of-fact Mr. Wohlleben has delighted readers and talk-show audiences alike with the news -- long known to biologists -- that trees in the forest are social beings."<br />--<strong>Sally McGrane, <em>The New York Times</em></strong><br /><br />"This fascinating book will intrigue readers who love a walk through the woods."<br />--<em><strong>Publishers Weekly</strong></em><br /><br />"If you read this book, I believe that forests will become magical places for you, too."<br />--<strong>Tim Flannery</strong><br /><br />"In this spirited exploration, [Wohlleben] guarantees that readers will never look at these life forms in quite the same way again."<br />--<strong><em>Library Journal</em></strong><br /><br />"A paradigm-smashing chronicle of joyous entanglement that will make you joyously acknowledge your own entanglement in the ancient and ever-new web of being."<br />--<strong>Charles Foster, author of <em>Being a Beast: Adventures Across the Species Divide</em></strong><br /><br />"Soon after we begin to recognize trees for what they are -- gigantic beings thriving against incredible odds for hundreds of years -- we naturally come to ask, 'How do they do it?'
