This book invites you into a realm where green life—plants, forests, moss, roots, and leaves—take on voice and meaning, forming a hidden structure that slips past the limits of ordinary perception. In this territory, plants are no longer mere scenery or passive decoration. They emerge as full participants in the world’s unfolding story. They send signals and make decisions. They remember, nurture, and maintain connections in silence. They think—but their thought is not a spark of sudden brilliance; it is a slow, continuous current.

私たちは、植物たちに心を感じている。開花の準備に一年もかけるサクラ。育てる人にやさしい声をかけられた園芸植物。触られて葉を閉じるオジギソウ。暗い中でも上へ上へと伸びるモヤシ。

As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science.

Dr. Catherine Kleier invites us to open our eyes to the phenomenal world of plant life and to the process she calls “Natura Revelata”, the joy of celebrating and learning from the secrets of nature.

In his beloved book The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben revealed astonishing discoveries about the social networks of trees and how they communicate. Now, in The Power of Trees, he turns to their future, with a searing critique of forestry management, tree planting, and the exploitation of old growth forests. At the heart of The Power of Trees lies Wohlleben’s passionate plea: that our survival is dependent on trusting ancient forests, and allowing them to thrive.
