”En kærlighedserklæring til skoven” Der sker de forunderligste ting i skoven: Træerne kommunikerer med hinanden. De drager ikke kun kærlig omsorg for deres afkom, de tager sig også af deres gamle og syge naboer. Træer har både følelser, fornemmelser og hukommelse. Det lyder måske utroligt. Men det er sandt. Skovfoged Peter Wohlleben kaster nyt lys over skovenes tætte tykninger og giver os et overraskende indblik i en hemmelighedsfuld verden. I sine fascinerende beretninger om træernes uanede evner trækker han både på sine egne erfaringer og på de nyeste videnskabelige opdagelser. ”Træernes hemmelige liv” er solgt i mere end 400.000 eksemplarer i Tyskland og er strøget ind på bestsellerlister verden over.

Kan dyr have det sjovt? Kan de være modige? Og hvilke følelser har de for hinanden og for deres ejere? I Dyrenes hemmelige liv får du et fascinerende indblik i dyrenes ukendte følelsesliv. Peter Wohlleben tager igen udgangspunkt i forskningsrapporter og videnskabelige artikler samt sine egne oplevelser fra dyrelivet i skoven og på gården, hvor han bor i sin egenskab af skovfoged. Haner, der lyver for deres høner, omsorgsfulde egern, loyale og kærlige ravne, medfølende skovmus og sørgende rådyr. Wohlleben viser, hvordan dyr har deres egen personlighed, der ligesom vores er et resultat af både arv og miljø, og fortæller om dyr, der udviser mod, humor, taktisk forståelse, medfølelse, kærlighed, sorg, skyldfølelse og skam. Han fortæller også, hvordan dyremødre navngiver deres unger, og at ravne bruger særlige identitetsråb og kan genkende hinanden på stemmen selv efter flere år. Bogen er ligesom Træernes hemmelige liv blevet en bestseller i Tyskland med flere end 250.000 solgte eksemplarer.

Vidste du, at træer kan påvirke jordens rotation? Eller at ulve kan ændre, hvordan floder løber? Eller at regnorme kontrollerer vildsvinepopulationen? Naturen består af et net af komplicerede forbindelser, og langt de fleste af dem lægger vi mennesker ikke mærke til. Men det er disse forbindelser, der holder naturens fine balance ved lige. Med udgangspunkt i de nyeste videnskabelige opdagelser og sine egne mange års erfaring som skovfoged viser Peter Wohlleben os, hvordan forskellige dyr, planter, floder, sten og vejrsystemer arbejder sammen, og hvad der er på spil, hvis disse delikate systemer kommer ud af balance. Jordens økosystemer er for komplekse til, at vi kan putte dem i kasser og formulere simple regler for årsag og virkning, men ”Naturens hemmelige netværk” giver os en chance for at få et indblik i naturens indre systemer og uventede makkerskaber. Og jo mere lys, der bliver kastet på forholdet mellem arterne, jo mere fascinerende bliver naturens hemmelige netværk.

Guide til skoven af forfatteren til ”Træernes hemmelige liv” og ”Dyrenes hemmelige liv” I ”Brugsanvisning til skoven” får læseren det vigtigste af Peter Wohllebens skovvisdom serveret på en overskuelig, praktisk og underholdende vis. Han fortæller, hvordan man orienterer sig i skoven uden kompas og GPS, hvilke bær, svampe, blade og skud, man kan sample, plukke og spise. Hvor man kan campere, lave bål og grille. Hvordan man aflæser dyrespor, og hvor og hvornår man bedst kan iagttage de vilde dyr. Hvordan man beskytter sig mod myg, røde myrer og mider. Hvad man kan opleve sammen med børn i skoven, og hvordan man kan tilbringe en nat i skoven. Samt hvordan en tur i skoven i henholdsvis februar, maj, august og november kan blive til en helt særlig oplevelse.
