Everyone shares this planet with trees

This is one of the most inspiring books I have read in my life. We need to understand our environment in order that we can share this planet properly. Humans have so much more to learn before we can live alongside the life we share this planet with.

Life changing information

A beautifully written book that shares groundbreaking (literally) science and moving personal history to deliver a life changing discovery that underpins the whole world. Fantastic.

Trees communicate with each other

This will revolutionise your opinion of trees (pretty but dull? essential but helpless? standing money?)No, trees are active and we like to walk in forests because the trees welcome us with scents and chemicals that do us good. And all of this wonderful information is founded on some extremely rigorous science.Lumberjacks, eat your hearts out.

Instantly engaging, hugely rewarding.

A quite extraordinary tale of underground nature, and the interconnectedness of trees and fungi, interwoven with the author's struggle for research recognition against a male-oriented society protective of the established order.Well written and an easy read - despite the potential complexity of the subject matter - this is an uplifting tale of nature and real-life mimicking each other.A fabulous and enjoyable story of success in the face of adversity - both in the author's life and the fungi serving the trees.Instantly engaging, hugely rewarding.

Feminism, First Nations, Biographical Science all in one.

This took me back to the forests of BC, and the terrible devastation wrought by clear-cut logging. The book is a vindication of a truly scientific, yet generous approach to human symbiosis with the wonderful world in which we live.Initially I wasn't quite sure about Suzanne Simard's writing style, but as I persisted she grew on me as sympatiqe and insightful. The account is also written as a biography both of the trees that Simard loves, and makes me love even more, and her family. I started slowly, but as I read further I simply couldn't get enough.She reminds me of writers like John Muir, and Aldo Leopold, or a scientist like Rachel Carson. She has given absolutely riveting TED Talks, and collaborated with Peter Wohlleben, another forester with great insights. I'd even suggest a strong 'feminist' flavour in the book, and certainly an empathy for traditional First Nation's practices.Altogether, a wonderful read!
