Über diesen Titel
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.

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
