New York Times bestselling author
Award winning author

The follow-up to the international bestseller The Hidden Life of Trees offers compelling insights into the lungs of our planet and the fragility of our intertwined futures.

Trees can survive without humans, but we can't live without trees. Even if human-caused climate change devastates our planet, the trees will return – as they do, always and everywhere, even after ice ages, catastrophic fires, destructive storms and deforestation. It would just be nice if we could be around to see them flourish. The Power of Trees is forester Peter Wohlleben's follow-up to The Hidden Life of Trees, a New York Times bestseller that sold millions of copies worldwide. The Power of Trees is as fascinating and eye-opening as it is trenchant in its critique: on the one hand, Wohlleben describes astonishing discoveries about how trees pass knowledge down to succeeding generations and their ability to 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.

'An eye-opening insight into the long-lived world of trees, and what they have learnt from our impact on their world. The Power of Trees reminds us that trees are not the slow learners when it comes to climate change – we are.'
Danielle Clode, author of Koala: A Life in Trees

'Trees, says Peter Wohlleben, have wisdom. So does he. In this magisterial take on how forests can save the planet from our worst endeavours, [Wohlleben] says the world needs the quiet magic of natural forest restoration.'
Fred Pearce, author of A Trillion Trees: Restoring Our Forests by Trusting in Nature

'Charming, provocative, fascinating.' (on The Hidden Life of Trees)
David George Haskell, author of Pulitzer finalist The Forest Unseen

'Opening this book, you are about to enter a wonderland.' (on The Hidden Life of Trees)
Tim Flannery, author of Atmosphere of Hope and The Weather Makers
