--------------
Do two trees ever appear identical? No, but why? Every small difference is a clue.
Each tree we meet is filled with signs that reveal secrets about the life of that tree and the landscape we stand in. The clues are easy to spot when you know what to look for, but remain invisible to most people.
In How to Read a Tree, you'll discover the simple principles that explain the shapes and patterns you can see in trees and what they mean. And you'll learn rare skills that can be applied every time you pass a tree, whether you are in a town or a wilder spot.
As the author of the international bestsellers The Walker's Guide and How to Read Water, Tristan Gooley knows how to uncover the phenomena worth looking for. He has been instructing people in the art of reading trees for two decades and this book includes signs that will not be found in any other book in the world.
Once you have learned to see these things it is impossible to unsee them. We will never look at a tree the same way again.

Von der hinteren Coverseite
Ten feet from the door there is a mature and impressive beech tree. I have seen this tree many thousands of times and touched it many hundreds... One spring morning I set myself a challenge...Were there any interesting features on this one beech that I hadn't noticed before?
Looking at the trees around his house, Tristan Gooley realises how little he has noticed, or even really seen them. He decides to embark journey, to investigate the signs that can be read from trees and everything about them that we often overlook.
Tristan takes the reader on a series on micro-expeditions to uncover the signs to look for in each tree. In each journey he highlights at least one exemplary sign or pattern; from the everyday to the more exotic, from Kew Gardens in London to the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. Alongside his own observations, insights and deductions, he also meets a variety of experts and draws their wisdom out. He not only reveals the tree signs, but also allows other colourful and intriguing insights to feed in to the narrative.
We will never look at a tree the same way again.
