THE SECRET LIFE OF TREES NOVEL

Peter Volleben

Informative and interesting book about the wonders of nature!

What trees feel, how they communicate.

The forest is a place that many people dream of: it is synonymous with silence and untouched nature. Renowned forestry engineer Peter Volleben reveals the hidden life of trees, and in doing so, brings incredible things to light: trees have memories, exchange messages, feel pain, and even get sunburns and wrinkles. Some trees communicate with special signals. When insects attack a tree, it emits odors, so trees in the wider environment, which receive these messages, prepare for the attack by starting to secrete bitter substances that disperse the insects. Peter Volleben draws on topics from his many decades of experience as a forestry engineer and reveals to us a completely new, unknown side of the forest.

Rarely does a book about nature manage to attract worldwide attention and become a bestseller
