Thoreau meets Science

A gentle (non-technical) introduction into some of the new scientific discoveries about inter-plant communications. Some of the complexities of a forest are brought to light and explained in simple terms. You won't think about plants in quite the same way againRead full review...

Interesting, but not new to me

I bought this book as a gift to a tree hobbyist after reading a rave review, but I myself found little new in it as I keep current on science news and have read about most of the phenomena described. I was quite disappointed to find that most of the information was about European trees, which I should have expected, given the author is German, but I mistakenly assumed there would be more about American trees. I had no reason to expect that however. I believe the book could be extremely interesting to the non-biologist (I am a biologist) who has not observed trees directly as I have for I am a forest owner. I disagree intensely with current forest management policies designed for profit by lumbermen, and was pleased to see the book reinforces my opinions. Forests are getting progressively unhealthy and undiversified, while much wildlife that depends upon those forests is in crisis.Read full review...
