Not the most gripping prose in translation but chock full of fascinating information and woven together in a well thought out series of easy to understand synopses of the science on these topics. Very accessible to a lay person

This book definitely made me look at the trees around me differently. I’ve always loved trees and forests, and this book only deepens that. I loved learning about the interconnected nature of trees, their survival strategies, their impact on the world around, and their ability to “see and hear” in a way!

This is a very sweet book, holding lots of information provided in a charming way. Anthropomorphic abounds. The writer refers to beetles (in translation) as "little guys" and writes about the emotional needs of trees along with their thoughts and motivations. And in a way, it's not a bad way to process the information. Certainly it makes for a sweet read.

Highly recommend! It’s an easy read for anyone interested in how nature communicates and functions. He breaks down big science into easy to understand topics

I found this book really intriguing! I learned some pretty amazing facts about trees and how they build their own communities and families which was fascinating to learn about. Parts of this book got a little too textbook-like for me where it got really in depth with the science of certain things which bored me a bit. I’d find myself zoning out a lot due certain chapters. But overall it was pretty interesting and gave me a new perspective on trees and forests as a whole!

W o w. Just w o w. Trees are so much more intelligent than we give them credit for. They know what they're doing, and they're GOOD at it, and if we're wise at all, we'll learn to work with their patterns and evolutionarily adapted skills/techniques. (4.25 stars on Storygraph)
