When the Forest Breathes: Renewal and Resilience in the Natural World by Suzanne SimardThe scientist and author of Finding the Mother Tree, Suzanne Simard, who pioneered the concept of sophisticated communication between trees, now offers a powerful vision for saving our forests based on nature's deep-rooted cycles of renewal. As she considers how older living things facilitate the conditions for new growth to flourish, Simard faces parallel rhythms of loss and regeneration in her own life, watching her two daughters grow into adults and savoring her final days with her ailing mother. Animated by wonder for our forests and the intricate practices of caretaking that have long sustained them, When the Forest Breathes is a vital reminder of all the natural world has to teach us about adaptability, resilience, and community. |
