Dans ce livre plein de grâce, acclamé dans le monde entier, le forestier Peter Wohlleben nous apprend comment s'organise la société des arbres. Les forêts ressemblent à des communautés humaines. Les parents vivent avec leurs enfants, et les aident à grandir. Les arbres répondent avec ingéniosité aux dangers. Leur système radiculaire, semblable à un réseau internet végétal, leur permet de partager des nutriments avec les arbres malades mais aussi de communiquer entre eux.

Come le piante navigano intorno al mondo, come portano la vita su isole sterili, come sono state in grado di crescere in luoghi inaccessibili e inospitali, come riescono a viaggiare attraverso il tempo, come convincono gli animali a farsi trasportare ovunque. Sono solo alcune delle incredibili storie raccontate da Stefano Mancuso.

Historia nauki dowodzi, że wiek XIX był czasem chemii, XX fizyki, a XXI prawdopodobnie będzie wiekiem biologii. Nauki biologiczne należą do tych, które w coraz szybszym tempie spektakularnie wyjaśniają skomplikowane mechanizmy rządzące między innymi światem roślin. W świetle dzisiejszej wiedzy śmiało możemy mówić o inteligentnych zachowaniach roślin.

Der neue Hörbuch-Spaziergang mit dem Lieblingsförster der Deutschen: verblüffende Phänomene und spannende Zusammenhänge. "In unseren Genen ist das Band zu den grünen Riesen noch intakt", sagt Peter Wohlleben - und tritt in seinem neuen Hörbuch den Beweis an. Die Natur ist dem modernen Mensch nur scheinbar fremd geworden, nach wie vor verbindet ihn ein starkes Band mit ihr. Ein Beispiel? Menschliche Reaktionen auf chemische Botenstoffe der Bäume: Unser Blutdruck ändert sich nachweislich, wenn wir im Wald sind.

Sebbene esista la convinzione che parlare alle piante ne favorisca la crescita, sembra tuttavia alquanto strano immaginare che le piante abbiano una vita mentale. Se però consideriamo che pensare non è altro che la capacità di recepire stimoli dall'ambiente, elaborarli e mettere in atto strategie per sopravvivere, allora possiamo ritenere che le piante abbiano una qualche forma di pensiero e intelligenza. L'autore ci introduce nel mondo delle piante e ne svela i segreti.

Die Naturkunden erzählen von Tieren und Pflanzen, von Pilzen und Menschen, von fremder und vertrauter Natur. In ihnen wird keine bloße Wissenschaft betrieben, sondern die leidenschaftliche Erforschung der Welt.

When Summer Rayne Oakes moved to Brooklyn from the Pennsylvania countryside, she knew that bringing nature indoors was her only chance to stay sane. She found them by the side of the road, in long-forgotten window boxes, at farmers' markets, and in local garden shops. She found ways to shelve, hang, tuck, anchor, secure, and suspend them. She even installed 150-foot expandable hose that connects to pipes under her kitchen sink, so she only has to spend about a half-hour a day tending to her plants - an activity that she describes as a "moving meditation".

Collingwood Ingram - known as “Cherry” for his defining passion - was born in 1880 and lived until he was a hundred, witnessing a fraught century of conflict and change. Visiting Japan in 1902 and again in 1907, he fell in love with the country’s distinctive cherry blossoms, or sakura, and brought back hundreds of cuttings with him to England, where he created a garden of cherry varieties. On a 1926 trip to Japan to search for new specimens, Ingram was shocked to find a dramatic decline in local cherry diversity.

As the dominant species on Earth, humans have made astonishing progress since our ancestors came down from the trees. But how did the descendants of small primates manage to walk upright, become top predators, and populate the world? How were humans able to develop civilizations and produce a globalized economy? Now, in The Age of Wood, Roland Ennos shows for the first time that the key to our success has been our relationship with wood.

Simply put, forest bathing is the practice of walking slowly through the woods, in no hurry, for a morning, an afternoon or a day. It is a practice that involves all the senses and as you gently walk and breathe deeply, the essential oils of the trees are absorbed by your body and have an extraordinary effect on positive feelings.
