Eye-opening … The Power of Trees reminds us that trees are not the slow learners when it comes to climate change - we are.' -Danielle Clode<br/><br/>Trees can survive without humans, but we can't live without trees. Even if human-caused climate change devastates our planet, trees will return - as they do, always and everywhere, even after ice ages, catastrophic fires, destructive storms and deforestation. It would be nice if we were around to see them flourish.<br/><br/>The Power of Trees is forester Peter Wohlleben's follow-up to his internationally bestselling The Hidden Life of Trees. It is as fascinating and eye-opening as it is trenchant in its critique: on the one hand, Wohlleben shares astonishing discoveries about how trees pass knowledge down to succeeding generations that helps them survive climate change; on the other, he is unsparing in his criticism of those who wield economic and political power - who plant trees exclusively for the sake of logging and virtue-signalling, even as they ruthlessly exploit nature. The Power of Trees is a love letter to the forest and a passionate argument for protecting nature's boundless diversity - not only for the trees, but also for ourselves.<br/><br/>'A magisterial take on how forests can save the planet from our worst endeavours' -Fred Pearce
