Bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees shows how to decipher the weather through nature's secret signs
Peter Wohlleben spent over twenty years working for the forestry commission in Germany before leaving to put his ideas of ecology into practice. He now runs an environmentally friendly woodland in Germany, where he is working towards the return of primeval forests, as well as caring for both wild and domestic animals. Wohlleben has been celebrated for his distinctive approach to writing about nature; he brings to life groundbreaking scientific research through his observations of nature and the animals he lives amongst. He is also the author of international bestsellers including The Hidden Life of Trees and The Inner Life of Animals.
The best weather detectives are the birds, plants and animals we
share this fragile world with. But how many of us nowadays can
interpret the clues they offer? Peter Wohlleben delves deep into
the mysteries of animal and bird behaviour, soil management, plant
adaptation, and ways of mitigating the effects of climate change on
our gardens and our planet. * Christopher Somerville, walking
correspondent for The Times. Author of The January Man *
Wohlleben's insightful observations of nature, combined with his
signature blend of science and imagination, invite us into deeper
relationship with the ecology of our homes * David George Haskell,
Pulitzer finalist and author of The Forest Unseen and The Songs of

For a society increasingly distanced from nature, Wohlleben renews
our appreciation of the wonderful and varied ties between the
living and nonliving worlds, including those that bind our favorite
plants and animals with that most familiar of all physical
entities, the weather * Bill Streever, nationally bestselling
author of Cold *
