Peter Wohlleben

In The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben shares his deep love of woods and forests and explains the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in the woodland and the amazing scientific processes behind the wonders of which we are blissfully unaware. Much like human families, tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, and support them as they grow, sharing nutrients with those who are sick or struggling and creating an ecosystem that mitigates the impact of extremes of heat and cold for the whole group. As a result of such interactions, trees in a family or community are protected and can live to be very old. In contrast, solitary trees, like street kids, have a tough time of it and in most cases die much earlier than those in a group. Drawing on groundbreaking new discoveries, Wohlleben presents the science behind the secret and previously unknown life of trees and their communication abilities; he describes how these discoveries have informed his own practices in the forest around him. As he says, a happy forest is a healthy forest, and he believes that eco-friendly practices not only are economically sustainable but also benefit the health of our planet and the mental and physical health of all who live on Earth.

Through vivid stories of devoted pigs, two-timing magpies, and scheming roosters, The Inner Life of Animals weaves the latest scientific research into how animals interact with the world with Peter Wohlleben's personal experiences in forests and fields.Horses feel shame, deer grieve, and goats discipline their kids. Ravens call their friends by name, rats regret bad choices, and butterflies choose the very best places for their children to grow up.In this, his latest book, Peter Wohlleben follows the hugely successful The Hidden Life of Trees with insightful stories into the emotions, feelings, and intelligence of animals around us. Animals are different from us in ways that amaze us-and they are also much closer to us than we ever would have thought.

The final book in The Mysteries of Nature trilogy by the New York Times bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben.Nature is full of surprises: deciduous trees affect the rotation of the Earth, cranes sabotage the production of Iberian ham, and coniferous forests can make it rain. But what are the processes that drive these incredible phenomena? And why do they matter?In The Secret Wisdom of Nature, master storyteller and international sensation Peter Wohlleben takes readers on a thought-provoking exploration of the vast natural systems that make life on Earth possible. In this tour of an almost unfathomable world, Wohlleben describes the fascinating interplay between animals and plants and answers such questions as: How do they influence each other? Do lifeforms communicate across species boundaries? And what happens when this finely tuned system gets out of sync? By introducing us to the latest scientific discoveries and recounting his own insights from decades of observing nature, one of the world’s most famous foresters shows us how to recapture our sense of awe so we can see the world around us with completely new eyes.

Praise for The Heartbeat of Trees “As human beings, we’re desperate to feel that we’re not alone in the universe. And yet we are surrounded by an ongoing conversation that we can sense if, as Peter Wohlleben so movingly prescribes, we listen to the heartbeat of all life.” —Richard Louv, author of Our Wild Calling a nd Last Child in the Woods “Astonishment after astonishment—that is the great gift of The Heartbeat of Trees . It is both a celebration of the wonders of trees, and a howl of outrage at how recklessly we profane them.” —Kathleen Dean Moore, author of Earth’s Wild Music “As Peter Wohlleben reminds us in The Heartbeat of Trees , trees are the vocabulary of nature as forests are the brainbank of a living planet. This was the codex of the ancient world, and it must be the fine focus of our future.” —Dr. Diana Beresford-Kroeger, author of To Speak for the Trees and The Global Forest “Peter Wohlleben knows the battle that lies before forging a closer relationship with nature before we destroy it. In The Heartbeat of Trees he takes us deep into the global forest to show us how.” —Jim Robbins, author of The Man Who Planted Trees

BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HIDDEN LIFE OF TREES, PETER WOHLLEBEN, INVITES US TO RECONNECT WITH NATUREAs soon as we step out of the door, nature surrounds. Thousands of small and large processes are taking place, details that are long often fascinating and beautiful.

From the international bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees An illuminating manifesto on ancient how they adapt to climate change by passing their wisdom through generations, and why our future lies in protecting them. In his beloved book The Hidden Life of Trees , Peter Wohlleben revealed astonishing discoveries about the social networks of trees and how they communicate. Now, in The Power of Trees , he turns to their future, with a searing critique of forestry management, tree planting, and the exploitation of old growth forests. As human-caused climate change devastates the planet, forests play a critical role in keeping it habitable. While politicians and business leaders would have us believe that cutting down forests can be offset by mass tree planting, Wohlleben offers a many tree planting schemes lead to ecological disaster. Not only are these trees more susceptible to disease, flooding, fires, and landslides, we need to understand that forests are more than simply a collection of trees. Instead, they are ecosystems that consist of thousands of species, from animals to fungi and bacteria. The way to save trees, and ourselves? Step aside and let forests—which are naturally better equipped to face environmental challenges—to heal themselves. With the warmth and wonder familiar to readers from his previous books, Wohlleben also shares emerging scientific research about how forests shape climates both locally and across continents; that trees adapt to changing environmental conditions through passing knowledge down to their offspring; and how old growth may in fact have the most survival strategies for climate change. At the heart of The Power of Trees lies Wohlleben's passionate that our survival is dependent on trusting ancient forests, and allowing them to thrive.

«Curioso, informato, sorprendente.»L'Espresso - Sabina Minardi«Melo o nocciolo, platano o pino silvestre, betulla o faggio che sia, ogni albero ha molte storie da raccontare… Benvenuti a un corso di lingua davvero particolare.»Sono gli esseri viventi più forti e resistenti del nostro pianeta, quelli più longevi, eppure della vita degli alberi sappiamo molto poco. A tratti però intuiamo che dietro quella loro corteccia ruvida si possono celare segreti a prima vista inaccessibili. Peter Wohlleben ci svela nel suo libro i misteri più affascinanti di questi scopriamo che sono dotati di forme di comunicazione e sensibilità sorprendenti; che sono solitamente esseri prudenti, ai quali ogni forma di fretta è estranea; che gli esemplari di una stessa specie tendono ad allearsi, a difendersi l’uno l’altro o a sostenere i malati (ma questo non accade nel caso degli alberi piantati dall’uomo); scopriamo che le betulle sono delle egoiste guerriere solitarie, ma anche che questo carattere impulsivo ha il suo prezzo, limitando la loro speranza di vita a 120 anni, che per gli alberi è molto bassa; oppure che il faggio tende a crescere a tal punto da aprirsi un varco tra le chiome di altre specie per poi oscurarle con il suo fogliame finché i concorrenti oppressi non muoiono. La saggezza degli alberi è il racconto originalissimo e sorprendente di un mondo che credevamo di conoscere ma che invece è ancora tutto da decifrare, un libro ricco di sorprese su essere viventi che ci somigliano molto più di quanto non crediamo.

Kõik räägivad metsade suremisest. Kuid mis seal õieti sureb ja eeskätt mille kätte?Peter Wohlleben kirjeldab, kuidas loodus suudab end ise imeliselt tasakaalustada ja tervendada – kui me ta ainult rahule jätame. Sest puud ei ole ainult võimelised end ümbrusega kohastama, vaid annavad kogemused muutunud keskkonnatingimuste kohta edasi ka järelkasvule, sõltumata sellest, kas tegu on sajanditevanuse teadmisega või millegi äsja omandatuga. Tänu seemnetes asuva pärilikkusaine muutumisele on puudel võimalik oma järglasi „kasvatada“ – ja neid uuteks kliimatingimusteks täiuslikult ette valmistada.Kuid puude hämmastaval kohanemisvõimel on piirid. Lehtpuud vajavad just praegu terviklikku kogukonda, et üksteist vastastikku toetada, end aurustumise abil jahutada ja isegi vihmapilvi tekitada – kõik need võimed lähevad aga suuremõõduliste raietööde tõttu kaduma.Peter Wohlleben paljastab halastamatult metsalobistide, poliitikute ja metsamajandajate eksimusi looduse tarkuse vastu ning näitab, et ülikiired arengud ei luba enam mingeid vigu. Sest kui me oma elu alustalasid edaspidigi nii järjekindlalt hävitame, saavad puud küll ühel hetkel ilma meieta suurepäraselt hakkama, kuid meie ilma puudeta mitte.Peter Wohlleben (snd 1964) on saksa metsnik ja üle maailma populaarne looduskirjanik. Tema raamatutest on varem eesti keeles ilmunud „Puude salapärane elu“, „Loomade hingeelu“, „Metsa kasutusõpetus“, „Kas kuuled, kuidas puud räägivad?“ ning „Looduse salajane võrgustik“.

Sind frei laufende Hühner glücklich? Wovon träumen Fruchtfliegen und Hunde? Welches Zeitgefühl hat ein Schmetterling? Peter Wohlleben schreibt kurzweilig über Gefühlsleben, Intelligenz und Bewusstsein der Tiere und fordert, ganz ohne erhobenen Zeigefinger, zu ethischem Handeln auf. Dabei macht er wenig Unterschiede zwischen liebenswerten Hunden, Milch gebenden Ziegen oder lästigen Fliegen. Und er scheut sich nicht, Parallelen zu menschlichen Gefühlen zu ziehen und provokante Thesen zu vertreten. Seine Ansichten zu Liebe, Mitgefühl, Trauer und Schmerz bei Tieren belegt der Autor anhand aufsehenerregender Studien von Verhaltensforschern und Biologen, aber auch durch viele Beobachtungen der Wildtiere im Eifeler Forst und seiner eigenen Haustiere.Das Buch räumt mit Vorurteilen über böse Wölfe, ängstliche Hasen oder blöde Ziegen auf und regt vor allem zum Nachdenken über die Konsequenzen unseres alltäglichen Handels an. Seite für Seite wird dabei immer klarer, warum ein achtsamer Umgang mit unseren Mitgeschöpfen auch uns Menschen glücklich macht.
