Inhaltsangabe
Colin Tudge's The Secret Life of Trees: How they Live and Why they Matter explores the hidden role of trees in our everyday lives - and how our future survival depends on them.
What is a tree? As this celebration of the trees shows, they are our countryside; our ancestors descended from them; they gave us air to breathe. Yet while the stories of trees are as plentiful as leaves in a forest, they are rarely told.
Here, Colin Tudge travels from his own back garden round the world to explore the beauty, variety and ingenuity of trees everywhere: from how they live so long to how they talk to each other and why they came to exist in the first place. Lyrical and evocative, this book will make everyone fall in love with the trees around them.
'A love-letter to trees'
Financial Times
'One of those books you want everyone to have already read'
Sunday Telegraph
'Wonderful, invaluable and timely. Tudge is as illuminating a guide as one could wish for'
Daily Mail
'Everyone interested in the natural world will enjoy The Secret Life of Trees. I found myself reading out whole chunks to friends'

Colin Tudge started his first tree nursery in his garden aged 11, marking his life-long interest in trees. Always interested in plants and animals, he studied zoology at Cambridge and then began writing about science, first as features editor at the New Scientist and then as a documentary maker for the BBC.

His books include The Variety of Life and So Shall We Reap.
The Secret Life of Trees brings together Colin Tudge's knowledge of trees and his fascination with them, built up from trips to the rainforest in Costa Rica, Panama and Brazil, to his time India, New Zealand, China, the United States ... and his own back garden. He is unable to choose a favourite tree, believing that variety's the thing.

20.0 x 12.5cms 452pp very good paperback & cover This book is mainly about the science of trees - what modern research is telling us about them. Most of this book is not about their usefulness but about what they are; how they came into being; what kinds there are and whrre they live and why; how they live competing & cooperating.
