But it's written from the standpoint of a person who lives and works with trees in the forest rather than someone who studies them. (It came out last year in German.) The book is dreamy and strange it tells about trees and their tightknit communities in the forest. This book came to mind as I read Peter Wohlleben's book T he Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate - Discoveries from a Secret World, which has just been translated into English. (If any of you know, please drop me a line!) I've asked book sellers and I've searched online. I can't remember the title and I haven't been able to track this book down. In the illustrations, you can see the father's tears in the gnarly bark of the tree. One of the endangered trees turns out to be the boy's father. The boy goes to sleep hungry and dreams that he is in a forest where the trees are threatened by an evil lumberjack. From ancient oaks and great redwoods to lush banyans and imposing kapoks, The Tree Book reveals the anatomy, behaviours, and beauty of these incredible plants and habitats in detail.Ĭombining natural history and a scientific overview with a wider look at the history, uses, symbolism, and mythology of trees, this book is a new kind of guide to these fascinating organisms.When I was a boy, I had a book about a father who sends his child to bed without dinner because he won't remove his tall hat at the table. Now the intricate world of leafy woodlands and abundant rainforests is revealed in this extensive visual guide to trees, exploring their key scientific traits and their ecological importance, as well as their enduring significance in human history and culture. Used for shelter, tools, fuel, and food, they also help supply the atmosphere with oxygen and form astonishingly diverse ecosystems, as well as some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes. Trees have been a part of human history from the very beginning. The secret world of trees is revealed in this beautiful and absorbing guide to the giants of the plant world
