À propos de ce contenu audio

 Sunday Times Bestseller ‘A paradigm-smashing chronicle of joyous entanglement’ Charles Foster

Waterstones Non-Fiction Book of the Month (September)

Are trees social beings? How do trees live? Do they feel pain or have awareness of their surroundings?

In The Hidden Life of Trees Peter Wohlleben makes the case that the forest is a social network. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. 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.

A walk in the woods will never be the same again.

For those in the UK with a passion for top books on nature, Wohlleben's great work merges the worlds of plants, gardening, and general ecology into an absorbing narrative that underscores the importance of environmental conservation and protection. It is a significant addition to the literary conversation on how we interact with the living world around us. For fans of Suzanne Simard (Finding the Mother Tree), Tristan Gooley (How to Read a Tree), Merlin Sheldrake (Entangled Life) and Isabella Tree (Wilding) and Robin Wall Kimmerer (Braiding Sweetgrass).

    Commentaires

    ‘Marvellous’ John Banville, Irish Times

    ‘The Hidden Life of Trees is a wonderful, provocative book that draws together half a century of much-neglected and misunderstood plant science and frames it within field observations by an acute and empathetic forester.’ New Statesman

    ‘Shafts of light and mossy greens fill The Hidden Life of Trees. The reader does not leave the forest, and this aura intensifies the awareness of intricate natural life that the book has to offer. So much is happening in this one place. The colours, airs and sounds are all connected. They give us contact with the invisible world we now know to be there.' Guardian

    ‘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.’ The New York Times

    ‘Peter Wohlleben’s The Hidden Life of Trees breaks entirely new ground … [Wohlleben] has listened to trees and decoded their language. Now he speaks for them.’ Thomas Pakenham, New York Review of Books

    ‘A declaration of love and an engrossing primer on trees, brimming with facts and an unashamed awe for nature.’ Washington Post

    ‘A magical book about fixtures that we walk by every day and take for granted … The Hidden Life of Trees may be the most important environmental book of the year.’ San Francisco Chronicle

    This book is a real gem and it has completely changed the way I view trees, and plants in general. I now regularly visit my local wood and get so much more out of each visit. My gardening practices have changed, and I appreciate much more the very important role trees play in the survival of us, and the planet. The narration is excellent and added to my enjoyment of this book, so much so I listened to it back to back three times. I've since sought out other books narrated by Mike Grady and have not been disappointed.

    Ca changé ma vie! A recommander

    Very cute book, I still don't know how much of it is true, how much just imagination of the author, but it's definitely a wonderful world of trees worth exploring.

    Also a wake up call to actually protect those valuable ecosystem

    Charming and inspiring

    In this short work translated from German, a forester, Peter Wohlenben, presents the conclusions he draws from decades of taking care of a specific forest and of reading on the topic.

    His thesis is that forests are communities and that trees are social beings that communicate with each another through their roots and by discharging chemicals in the air. He also claims among many other things that younger trees are actively supported by older ones as they slowly mature.

    Though it is totally plausible that a forest is more than a collection of individuals, the vocabulary used by Peter Wohlenben is excessive, “mother trees” being described for instance as nurturing their young ones. Chances are that we are witnessing more of a symbiotic relationship rather than anything remotely conscious.

    The data provided is oftentimes surprising for a North American reader, a forest reaching maturity over centuries, and not decades as we are accustomed.

    Overall, this book should be praised for its originality but considered with caution.

    Half Convincing!
