YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPeter Wohlleben discusses his book, "The Secret Wisdom of Nature" at Politics and Prose.
In The Hidden Life of Trees, Wohlleben taught us to understand trees not as isolated individuals but as members of communities that engage in a rich network of interactions, and he continued his revelatory study with The Hidden Life of Animals. His new book concludes the Mysteries of Nature trilogy with an exploration of the larger systems that make it possible for plants and animals to have the effects they do on the natural landscape. Drawing on the latest scientific research and his own keen observations as both a forest ranger and, now, manager of a forest academy and eco-friendly woodland, Wohlleben shows how living creatures communicate with each other and with their environment and what happens when these mechanisms fail.
