Brought to you by Penguin.
A dazzling scientific detective story from the ecologist who first discovered the hidden language of trees
No one has done more to transform our understanding of trees than the world-renowned scientist Suzanne Simard. Now she shares the secrets of a lifetime spent uncovering startling truths about trees: their cooperation, healing capacity, memory, wisdom and sentience.
Raised in the forests of British Columbia, where her family has lived for generations, Professor Simard did not set out to be a scientist. She was working in the forest service when she first discovered how trees communicate underground through an immense web of fungi, at the centre of which lie the Mother Trees: the mysterious, powerful entities that nurture their kin and sustain the forest.
Though her ground-breaking findings were initially dismissed and even ridiculed, they are now firmly supported by the data. As her remarkable journey shows us, science is not a realm apart from ordinary life, but deeply connected with our humanity.
In Finding the Mother Tree, she reveals how the complex cycle of forest life - on which we rely for our existence - offers profound lessons about resilience and kinship, and must be preserved before it's too late.

Kritikerstimmen
A scientific memoir as gripping as any HBO drama series... Just as she disinters earthy mushrooms and the finest of filaments, so she lays bare the human heart with moving simplicity... It is her gallant mission in the book and in her life - and one essential to combating the climate crisis - to make science more humanly engaged (Kate Kellaway)
Finding the Mother Tree is the kind of story we need to be telling, a new way of communicating that the world desperately needs to hear... A reminder to listen to our wilder selves, and to remember, with humility, how little we know of the complexities of the natural world (Tiffany Francis-Baker)
This book is a testament to Simard's skill as a science communicator. Her research is clearly defined, the steps of her experiments articulated, her astonishing results explained and the implications laid bare: We ignore the complexity of forests at our peril (Jonathan C. Slaght)
A masterwork of planetary significance
[Simard] is an intellectual force... Simard's results are so revolutionary and controversial that they have quickly worked their way into social theory, urban planning, culture and art... We have a lot of rethinking to do about the economic and political models that, since Darwin, have been taken to be natural (Kate Brown)
Finding the Mother Tree has come at a crucial moment... With biodiversity on a knife edge, the need to appreciate and understand the complexity and brilliance of the natural world could not be more important (Rosie Boycott)
Vivid and inspiring... a radical new understanding of plants (Eugenia Bone)
Speaking with Simard felt like coming to the headwaters of a vast system of ideas, both innovative and ancient... To read Finding the Mother Tree is to imagine the view from a 250-foot redwood. The recognition that we're all connected is one of the great gifts of the memoir
[Suzanne Simard] forever transformed our views of the world and the interconnectivity of our environment. Finding the Mother Tree is not only a deeply beautiful memoir about one woman's impactful life, it's also a call to action to protect, understand and connect with the natural world (Amy Adams)
A vivid and compelling memoir of [Simard's] lifelong quest to prove that the forest is more than just a collection of trees
The literal science was nothing new to me, although these discoveries are still groundbreaking and interesting to listen to. What I really didn't expect were the long passages of random family/personal events. I think it's fine too sprinkle them in from time to time but that was just too much of everyday problems, so I zooned out whenever she started, but at somepoint the science and the personal storylines got so mixed up that I had no motivation to listen it anymore.
I think I was not really the target demographic for such a book. It's written more for middle aged people that know nothing of this forest science and can also relate more to the problems mentioned.
If you habe ever read a bit about forest networks and stuff, there is nothing new here for you and if you want to learn about it, there are way better books that are not as bloated with personal experiences and family problems.
But if you are looking for a book that gently introduces you to the science of forest networks with a lot of breaks about her personal life then this might be the book for you.
Not what I expected
