Marvelous spruces, striking beeches, enchanting oaks... From Thailand to Quebec, by way of the Amazon and Siberia, the little-known world of trees and forests appears to us in a new dimension thanks to this selection of the most beautiful images of the plant world. They support the powerful plea by Peter Wohlleben, a world-renowned author, to change our relationship with trees. This illustrated book is an invitation to see forests differently and to discover their secret life. We understand how tree society is organized. We also learn how large plants help each other, communicate with one another, and thus manage to live for hundreds or even thousands of years while playing an active role in the much-maligned biodiversity... The Secret Life of Trees is a book woven with surprising anecdotes that reveal a panorama as enchanting as it is bewildering.

Peter Wohlleben is a forest ranger. Near Cologne, Germany, he looks after a 1,200-hectare public forest, which he has learned to listen to and observe. His forest is managed and maintained without pesticides or heavy machinery. Acclaimed worldwide, his book, which has sold over a million copies, has been translated into 33 languages.
