Sinossi
Il mondo che ci circonda è come un grande orologio: tutti gli ingranaggi sono perfettamente collegati tra loro, e ogni componente è decisiva per il tutto. Eppure è impossibile non rimanere stupefatti scoprendo le inaspettate sorprese che la natura riserva: sembra incredibile, ma esistono alberi capaci di modificare la rotazione terrestre, lupi in grado di deviare il corso dei fiumi e persino lombrichi fondamentali per la sopravvivenza dei cinghiali. Ma in che modo animali e piante, foreste e mari, montagne e cambiamenti climatici riescono a influenzarsi a vicenda? Osservatore scrupoloso e narratore appassionato, Peter Wohlleben ci mostra le connessioni alla base del sistema complesso di cui siamo parte; e grazie a decenni di esperienze come guardia forestale passate al vaglio delle più recenti scoperte scientifiche, ci rende consapevoli dei rischi che l’intervento sconsiderato dell’uomo ha sul fragile equilibrio del nostro prezioso pianeta.

There are, of course, major human proclivities we know of tha Leggi tutto

The Secret Wisdom of Nature focuses on the relationships between the flora and fauna of nature, things like how some plants, insects, birds, or animals interact with other plants, insects, or animals to survive, thrive, and multiply.

This is the second book in Wohlleben's trilogy...his first was the excellent The Hidden Life of Trees (I guarantee you that you will never walk through a forest the same as you did after you read that book). This book extends his inquiry to all of nature...it's quite comprehensive, though a bit too
Very well-written and friendly book. Easy reading and moves along well, packed with interesting information on nature from trees to insects to human evolution. I can't imagine anyone finding this uninteresting. The author has an intimate connection to the natural world around him and does a great jo Leggi tutto
