The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate by Peter Wohlleben
3.0
As other reviewers have noted before me . . . read this book for the content it contains. I will never be able to look at a tree the same way again. How I feel about forestry practices has been massively impacted, and my approach to the established trees that we are lucky enough to care for in our garden will be forever changed.
So why only three stars? Because I wanted more. The anecdotal writing style will suit many, but I wanted more of the hard science, more of the history, more about the impact of humans and climate change, and more about where we go from here. From the afterword (written by a forest scientist) and my own research, that information is all out there, so I wish it had been incorporated here.
