Beschreibung

<p><b>THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER</b><br><br><b>'A scientific memoir as gripping as any HBO drama series' Kate Kellaway, <i>Observer</i></b><br><b><br>A dazzling scientific detective story from the ecologist who first discovered the hidden language of trees </b><br><br>No one has done more to transform our understanding of trees than the world-renowned scientist Suzanne Simard. Now she shares the secrets of a lifetime spent uncovering startling truths about trees: their cooperation, healing capacity, memory, wisdom and sentience. <br><br>Raised in the forests of British Columbia, where her family has lived for generations, Professor Simard did not set out to be a scientist. She was working in the forest service when she first discovered how trees communicate underground through an immense web of fungi, at the centre of which lie the Mother Trees: the mysterious, powerful entities that nurture their kin and sustain the forest. <br><br>Though her ground-breaking findings were initially dismissed and even ridiculed, they are now firmly supported by the data. As her remarkable journey shows us, science is not a realm apart from ordinary life, but deeply connected with our humanity. <br><br>In<i> Finding the Mother Tree,</i> she reveals how the complex cycle of forest life - on which we rely for our existence - offers profound lessons about resilience and kinship, and must be preserved before it's too late.</p>
