In human beings, left and right hemispheres specialize in one or the other. But the rettina of the eye, which many species have, regardless of varieties of brain structure and function, is part of the brain that migrated to its location, the eye, a very long time ago. Stephen Suomi's work with monkey mothers and babies makes it immensely clear that retina to retina, brain to brain contact, is the most powerful experience in a baby's life. These books connect trees and virus, insect, fungi, wow! The whole 8yards. This is as it should be. We do not yet know how attachment is communicated without retinas although his books make clear we are going to find out in time if we have time.I mourn deeply for the damage we've done to our partners in creating life on earth. How greatly we have betrayed our mission here, we human beings whose minds are losing ground, losing connection. Electronic systems as should be clear from these books are pathetic and limited in comparison to the richness, diversity and beauty of life. We need to appreciate other minds far more and place electronic systems on leave. They have been weaponized, they have been developed for the purpose of creating addictions, loss of control, people!These books can give us a peek at the vast material we are losing through our greed and failure to look one another in the eye and express our minds. The ricjhness of the huuman mind and the monds of others is so much richer than what electronics allow. I grieve lost for the loss of mind human beings suffer today in the United States. Here electronics are most rapacious. I have not watched television, listened to a radio, read a newspaper, eaten fish, etc since I was 18 years old. My parents died yound and witless of alcoholism. I sensed the danger in electronic systems and I stayed clear. I learn from people, birds, other animals, and school, reading, books. I do not feel in the least impovershed!These books are suerb. They will give the mind that is oppen a glimpse of far more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unintended Consequences *by S***Y on March 17, 2019* The Secret Wisdom of Nature is the third in author Wohlleben's trilogy. The first dealt with trees and the second with animals. Both were marvelous in the way science and Wohlleben's anecdotes were interwoven into enjoyable and easy to read text. That's nothing to say of his great knowledge, much learned by first hand observation, of our physical world. Secret Wisdom is written in the same manner with the same surprising facts, e.g. killing wolves in Yellowstone caused erosion along riverbanks. Huh!? Yes it's true. On page 167 the author writes, "Does that sound complicated? I think so too."The real emphasis on the third book is the effect people have had on the environment and surprisingly it seems that even actions meant to help often have deleterious effects. Germans have made an effort to feed roe deer helping them make it through hard winters. Now there are more deer than ever and of course the effect on woodlands is not the best as the browsers are doing what they do best.There's a dark side to human activity as well. It seems our success as a species is based in part on our ability and willingness to kill anything that flies, swims, crawls, or walks. But putting that aside our complete domination of the planet, even when well intentioned, can have unintended consequences. Let me add a personal note. This winter was very cold with record setting snow. We decided to feed wild turkeys to get them though the winter. The 105 turkeys are doing fine but they have scared off the crows, blue jays, and woodpeckers. By helping one specie we have probably hurt others. This is much of what Wohlleben writes.Same size book as first two with same paper and same size print. Maybe not as good as first two books (they were really ,really good) but I'm still glad I bought it. Recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would even trilogy book #3 *by K***R on May 10, 2025* It is wonders inducing to read about nature based adaptive behavior and evolutionary change. This boom ties it together nicely. A very conversational style here by the author. Of his three books, this came I. Last. About too tied to his own forest, but maybe I am just maxed out o. The subject t by now. Really do admire the author's expertise, passion and perspective.
