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.

读后感

2009年好莱坞大片“阿凡达” 中有这样一个背景： 在电影发生的星球森林里，所有的有机体都是相互连接的。凭借着 “树根间的电化交流”，这些有机体可以沟通，还可以共同管理资源。 如此的想象在现实世界里是有基础的。《The Hidden Life of Trees》（《树木的神秘生活》）一...  

像我這樣見識尚稱廣闊的人，能讀到一本深具啟發的書，是很快樂的事。茲摘錄這本補足我知識拼圖的書，其有趣內容如下： 『樹木有能力學習，還能儲存記憶，並累積知識。』 『透過發出氣味、電子及化學訊號，或經由真菌網路，樹木能彼此溝通。』 『樹木有很強的社會傾向，既競爭又...

用户评价

還是挺有啓發的（特別是前大部份）。不禁想，生物之間，雖然看上去很不一樣，但其實界線很模糊，而且聯繫非常密切。人如果用對自己的專注和愛，對世間萬物，就不會造成現在隨時失衡的狀況。

The wisdom of trees are just remarkable.

哎呀，明天真必须交毕业论文了，可是我在干嘛？哎呀，但还挺喜欢这本书的！觉得自己应该拓展一下看书类别…

科普书的极品水平啦。

感觉soso....不是那么magical，树应该是更爱牛逼的我感觉
