Vom winzigen Samen zum Giganten des Waldes – die aufregende Lebensgeschichte einer Buche als Hörbuch. Was würden uns Bäume erzählen, wenn sie sprechen könnten? Fast zehn Jahre nach Erscheinen von Das geheime Leben der Bäume hat die Forschung so viel neues Wissen erschlossen, dass es an der Zeit ist, die Bäume selbst zu Wort kommen zu lassen. Dazu leiht ihnen Deutschlands berühmtester Förster seine Stimme: Erstmals lässt er eine 250 Jahre alte Buche berichten, was ihr im Laufe der Zeit – vom Samen bis zum Giganten des Waldes – widerfährt.

A forester's fascinating stories backed by the latest scientific research illustrate how trees nurture and talk to each other. Are trees social beings? In this international best seller - which has sold more than 320,000 copies in Germany alone - forester and author Peter Wohlleben convincingly makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families.

Plants are commonly considered immobile, in contrast to humans and other animals. But vegetal existence involves many place-based forms of change: stems growing upward, roots spreading outward, fronds unfurling in response to sunlight, seeds traveling across wide distances, and other intricate relationships with the surrounding world. How do plants as sessile, growing, decaying, and metamorphosing beings shape the places they inhabit, and how are they shaped by them?

Collections of preserved plant specimens, known as herbaria, have existed for nearly five centuries. These pressed and labeled plants have been essential resources for scientists, allowing them to describe and differentiate species and to document and research plant changes and biodiversity over time—including changes related to climate. Maura C. Flannery tells the history of herbaria, from the earliest collections belonging to such advocates of the technique as sixteenth-century botanist Luca Ghini, to the collections of poets, politicians, and painters, and to the digitization today.

They nourish other living organisms and supply psychological benefits to humans as well, improving our moods and beautifying the landscape around us. But plants don’t just passively provide. They also take action. Beronda L. Montgomery explores the vigorous, creative lives of organisms often treated as static and predictable.

Have you ever leaned in close to a plant, an insect, a tree, and felt it respond? Once, When I Was Tree is a collection of true short stories weaving interspecies communication, nomadic living, and threshold experiences. From a barefoot childhood in the red earth of New Caledonia to the wisdom of the grandmother vine Ayahuasca, each story is a thread, drawn from different times and places in my life. What do trees remember? Why do bees dance? Whom does Coyote mourn when he sings to the moon? Where do we, humans, belong in the weaving of the natural world?
