Das geheime Leben der Bäume: Was sie fühlen, wie sie kommunizieren - die Entdeckung einer verborgenen Welt
Peter Wohlleben
Ein neuer Blick auf alte Freunde
Im Wald geschehen die erstaunlichsten Dinge: Bäume kommunizieren miteinander. Sie umsorgen nicht nur liebevoll ihren Nachwuchs, sondern pflegen auch alte und kranke Nachbarn. Bäume haben Empfindungen haben, Gefühle, ein Gedächtnis. Unglaublich? Aber wahr!
Der Förster Peter Wohlleben erzählt faszinierende Geschichten über die ungeahnten und höchst erstaunlichen Fähigkeiten der Bäume. Dazu zieht er die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse ebenso heran wie seine eigenen unmittelbaren Erfahrungen mit dem Wald und schafft so eine aufregend neue Begegnung für die Leser: Wir schließen Bekanntschaft mit einem Lebewesen, das uns vertraut schien, uns aber hier erstmals in seiner ganzen Lebendigkeit vor Augen tritt. Und wir betreten eine völlig neue Welt...
Das geheime Netzwerk der Natur: Wie Bäume Wolken machen und Regenwürmer Wildschweine steuern
Peter Wohlleben
Die Natur steckt voller Überraschungen: Laubbäume beeinflussen die Erdrotation, Kraniche sabotieren die spanische Schinkenproduktion und Nadelwälder können Regen machen. Was steckt dahinter? Der passionierte Förster und Bestsellerautor Peter Wohlleben lässt uns eintauchen in eine kaum ergründete Welt und beschreibt das faszinierende Zusammenspiel zwischen Pflanzen und Tieren: Wie beeinflussen sie sich gegenseitig? Gibt es eine Kommunikation zwischen den unterschiedlichen Arten? Und was passiert, wenn dieses fein austarierte System aus dem Lot gerät? Anhand neuester wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse und seiner eigenen jahrzehntelangen Beobachtungen lehrt uns Deutschlands bekanntester Förster einmal mehr das Staunen. Und wir sehen die Welt um uns mit völlig neuen Augen
Der lange Atem der Bäume: Wie Bäume lernen, mit dem Klimawandel umzugehen – und warum der Wald uns retten wird, wenn wir es zulassen
Peter Wohlleben
Der lange Atem der Bäume: Wie Bäume lernen, mit dem Klimawandel umzugehen – und warum der Wald uns retten wird, wenn wir es zulassen
Auch wenn wir unsere Welt durch den Klimawandel zugrunde richten sollten – die Bäume kommen immer und überall zurück, selbst nach verheerenden Bränden, heftigen Sturmschäden und menschlichen Verwüstungen. Es wäre nur schön, wenn wir dann noch da sind.
Mit Der lange Atem der Bäume knüpft Peter Wohlleben direkt an seinen Millionenseller Das geheime Leben der Bäume an – ebenso zum Staunen, ebenso faszinierend, aber dabei gleichzeitig scharf und kritisch: Auf der einen Seite schildert er neue verblüffende Erkenntnisse über das Leben der Bäume und ihre Fähigkeiten, zu lernen und mit dem Klimawandel umzugehen. Zugleich geht er hart ins Gericht mit den von Ahnungslosigkeit geprägten Akteuren in Wirtschaft und Politik, die Bäume ausschließlich zur Holzgewinnung und zur Imagepflege pflanzen und die Natur damit in Wahrheit rücksichtslos ausbeuten. Doch intensiv bewirtschaftete Fichtenplantagen werden die Überhitzung des Planeten nicht verhindern.
Eine Liebeserklärung an die Bäume – und ein flammender Appell, die unendliche Vielfalt der Natur, deren sensibles Zusammenwirken wir immer noch nicht ganz verstehen, zu schützen und zu bewahren. In unserem ureigensten Interesse.

Forest Walking: Discovering the Trees and Woodlands of North America
Peter Wohlleben
When you walk in the woods, do you use all five senses to explore your surroundings? For most of us, the answer is no—but when we do, a walk in the woods can go from pleasant to immersive and restorative. Forest Walking teaches you how to get the most out of your next adventure by becoming a forest detective, decoding nature’s signs and awakening to the ancient past and thrilling present of the ecosystem around you.
What can you learn by following the spread of a root, by tasting the tip of a branch, by searching out that bitter almond smell?
What creatures can be found in a stream if you turn over a rock—and what is the best way to cross a forest stream, anyway?
How can you understand a forest’s history by the feel of the path underfoot, the scars on the trees along the trail, or the play of sunlight through the branches?
How can we safely explore the forest at night?
What activities can we use to engage children with the forest?
Throughout Forest Walking, the authors share experiences and observations from visiting forests across North America: from the rainforests and redwoods of the west coast to the towering white pines of the east, and down to the cypress swamps of the south and up to the boreal forests of the north.
Inner Life Of Animals
Peter Wohlleben
Can horses feel shame? Do deer grieve? Why do roosters deceive their hens?
Humans tend to assume that we are the only living things able to experience feelings intensely and consciously. But have you ever wondered what’s going on in an animal’s head?
From the leafy forest floor to the inside of a bee hive, The Inner Life of Animals shows us microscopic levels of observation as well as forcing us to confront the big philosophical, ethical and scientific questions. We hear the stories of a grateful humpback whale, of a hedgehog who has nightmares, and of a magpie who commits adultery; we meet bees that plan for the future, pigs who learn their own names and crows that go tobogganing for fun. And at last we find out why wasps exist.
The Inner Life of Animals will open up the animal kingdom like never before.

La Vie secrète des arbres
Peter Wohlleben
Les citadins regardent les arbres comme des "robots biologiques" conçus pour produire de l'oxygène et du bois. Forestier, Peter Wohlleben a ravi ses lecteurs avec des informations attestées par les biologistes depuis des années, notamment le fait que les arbres sont des êtres sociaux. Ils peuvent compter, apprendre et mémoriser, se comporter en infirmiers pour les voisins malades. Ils avertissent d'un danger en envoyant des signaux à travers un réseau de champignons appelé ironiquement "Bois Wide Web". La critique allemande a salué unanimement ce tour de force littéraire et la manière dont l'ouvrage éveille chez les lecteurs une curiosité enfantine pour les rouages secrets de la nature.

Nieznane więzi natury
Peter Wohlleben
Jeśli spotkałeś się z opinią, że korniki to pasożyty niszczące zdrowy las, a wilki to tylko niebezpieczne drapieżniki, które wymagają odstrzału, to sprawdź, jakie są fakty. W swojej kolejnej książce Peter Wohlleben ujawnia niewidoczne dla zwykłych obserwatorów więzi między wszystkimi stworzeniami – od niepozornych bakterii po dumne dęby i buki.

Przyszłość niebieskiej planety zależy również od tego, jaką rolę w tym procesie odegrają ludzie.
Our Little Farm: Adventures in Sustainable Living
Peter Wohlleben
From Peter Wohlleben, the New York Times -bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees , and his wife, Miriam, comes an inspired, practical memoir of creating a sustainable homestead amongst the trees.
Called "a veritable tree whisperer" by the Wall Street Journal , Peter Wohlleben is known across the world for his illuminating books about forests and how to help them thrive. Now, the German forester invites readers into his home for the first time in Our Little Farm , describing the steps he and his wife, Miriam, have taken to live sustainably and in harmony with nature.
Peter and Miriam moved from the city to a remote forest lodge in the early nineties. Amidst juggling careers and raising a young family, they learned how to plant and rotate crops, harvest and preserve nature's bounty, and tend to the unique needs of their animals and environment. Along the way, they made mistakes and abandoned some projects (sheep raising was not their thing) but maintained a sense of joy in their shared goal.
Brimming with insights, wisdom, and tips on everything from constructing farm buildings to choosing the perfect chicken, Our Little Farm shows that, with a little grit, humor, and self-compassion, it's possible to live according to our values and to care for the earth even as we care for ourselves, our homes, and our families.

Sekretne życie drzew
Peter Wohlleben
W lesie dzieją się zdumiewające rzeczy.

Skriveni život životinja
Peter Wohlleben
Šta životinje misle i osećaju.
Nova knjiga pisca bestselera Tajni život drveća.
Ljudi smatraju da su oni jedina bića sposobna da osećaju. Međutim, jeste li se ikada zapitali šta se događa u glavi neke životinje?
Brižne veverice, gavrani koji se verno vole, saosećajni šumski miševi, jeleni koji tuguju… Peter Voleben razotkriva nam nepoznat svet životinja i skreće pažnju na raznovrsnost njihovih osećanja. Na temelju najnovijih naučnih saznanja i priča o svojim iskustvima sa životinjama, on nam dočarava složene i malo poznate načine svesnog i emocionalnog ponašanja divljih i domaćih životinja. Voleben nam pripoveda o pčelama koje prave planove za budućnost, ježu koji ima košmare, svraki preljubnici, zahvalnom grbavom kitu... I najednom počinjemo da razumemo da nas sa životinjama povezuje mnogo više nego što bismo ikada pomislili i da su njihovi životi podjednako dragoceni kao naši.

Tajni život drveća
Peter Wohlleben
Šta drveće oseća, kako komunicira.
Otkrivanje skrivenog sveta.
Informativna i zanimljiva knjiga o čudima prirode.
Šuma je mesto za kojim mnogi ljudi čeznu: ona je sinonim za tišinu i nedirnutu prirodu. Ugledni šumarski inženjer Peter Voleben pruža nam uvid u skriveni život drveća – i pritom iznosi na videlo neverovatne stvari: drveće ima pamćenje, razmenjuje poruke, oseća bol i čak dobija opekotine od sunca i bore. Neko drveće komunicira pomoću posebnih signala. Kada insekti napadnu drvo, ono ispušta mirise i drveće u širokom krugu koje prima ove poruke priprema se za napad tako što samo za nekoliko minuta počne da luči gorke materije koje rasteruju insekte. Peter Voleben crpi teme iz svog višedecenijskog iskustva šumarskog inženjera i otkriva nam potpuno novu stranu šume.
Retko koja knjiga čiji je predmet priroda uspeva da privuče pažnju svetskih razmera i postane bestseler.
„Voleben je šumama vratio dušu.“ Süddeutsche Zeitung
„Svako ko pročita ovu knjigu, posmatraće šumu na nov način.“ Der Tagesspiegel
The Heartbeat of Trees: Embracing Our Ancient Bond with Forests and Nature
Peter Wohlleben
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, THE HIDDEN LIFE OF TREES A powerful return to the forest, where trees have heartbeats and roots are like brains that extend underground. Where the color green calms us, and the forest sharpens our senses. In The Heartbeat of Trees, renowned forester Peter Wohlleben draws on new scientific discoveries to show how humans are deeply connected to the natural world.In an era of cell phone addiction, climate change, and urban life, many of us fear we’ve lost our connection to nature—but Peter Wohlleben is convinced that age-old ties linking humans to the forest remain alive and intact. Drawing on science and cutting-edge research, The Heartbeat of Trees reveals the profound interactions humans can have with nature, A perfect book to take with you into the woods, The Heartbeat of Trees shares how to see, feel, smell, hear, and even taste the forest. Peter Wohlleben, renowned for his ability to write about trees in an engaging and moving way, reveals a wondrous cosmos where humans are a part of nature, and where conservation and environmental activism is not just about saving trees—it’s about saving ourselves, too. Praise for The Heartbeat of Trees “As human beings, we’re desperate to feel that we’re not alone in the universe. And yet we are surrounded by an ongoing conversation that we can sense if, as Peter Wohlleben so movingly prescribes, we listen to the heartbeat of all life.” —Richard Louv, author of Our Wild Calling a nd Last Child in the Woods “Astonishment after astonishment—that is the great gift of The Heartbeat of Trees . It is both a celebration of the wonders of trees, and a howl of outrage at how recklessly we profane them.” —Kathleen Dean Moore, author of Earth’s Wild Music “As Peter Wohlleben reminds us in The Heartbeat of Trees , trees are the vocabulary of nature as forests are the brainbank of a living planet. This was the codex of the ancient world, and it must be the fine focus of our future.” —Dr. Diana Beresford-Kroeger, author of To Speak for the Trees and The Global Forest “Peter Wohlleben knows the battle that lies before forging a closer relationship with nature before we destroy it. In The Heartbeat of Trees he takes us deep into the global forest to show us how.” —Jim Robbins, author of The Man Who Planted Trees

The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate
Peter Wohlleben
How do trees live? Do they feel pain, or have awareness of their surroundings? Research is now suggesting trees are capable of much more than we have ever known. In The Hidden Life of Trees, forester Peter Wohlleben puts groundbreaking scientific discoveries into a language everyone can relate to.In The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben shares his deep love of woods and forests and explains the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in the woodland and the amazing scientific processes behind the wonders of which we are blissfully unaware.Much like human families, tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, and support them as they grow, sharing nutrients with those who are sick or struggling and creating an ecosystem that mitigates the impact of extremes of heat and cold for the whole group. As a result of such interactions, trees in a family or community are protected and can live to be very old. In contrast, solitary trees, like street kids, have a tough time of it and in most cases die much earlier than those in a group.Drawing on groundbreaking new discoveries, Wohlleben presents the science behind the secret and previously unknown life of trees and their communication abilities; he describes how these discoveries have informed his own practices in the forest around him. As he says, a happy forest is a healthy forest, and he believes that eco-friendly practices not only are economically sustainable but also benefit the health of our planet and the mental and physical health of all who live on Earth.After a walk through the woods with Wohlleben, you’ll never look at trees the same way again.

The Power of Trees: How Ancient Forests Can Save Us if We Let Them (From the Author of The Hidden Life of Trees)
Peter Wohlleben
From the international bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees An illuminating manifesto on ancient how they adapt to climate change by passing their wisdom through generations, and why our future lies in protecting them. 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. As human-caused climate change devastates the planet, forests play a critical role in keeping it habitable. While politicians and business leaders would have us believe that cutting down forests can be offset by mass tree planting, Wohlleben offers a many tree planting schemes lead to ecological disaster. Not only are these trees more susceptible to disease, flooding, fires, and landslides, we need to understand that forests are more than simply a collection of trees. Instead, they are ecosystems that consist of thousands of species, from animals to fungi and bacteria. The way to save trees, and ourselves? Step aside and let forests—which are naturally better equipped to face environmental challenges—to heal themselves. With the warmth and wonder familiar to readers from his previous books, Wohlleben also shares emerging scientific research about how forests shape climates both locally and across continents; that trees adapt to changing environmental conditions through passing knowledge down to their offspring; and how old growth may in fact have the most survival strategies for climate change. At the heart of The Power of Trees lies Wohlleben's passionate that our survival is dependent on trusting ancient forests, and allowing them to thrive.
