A Walk In The Woods By Bill Bryson

A Walk In the Woods is an inspiring book about nature, written by Bill Bryson. In the book, Bryson walks the Appalachian Trail, which runs from Maine to Georgia, and chronicles his journey. Along the way, he talks about the history of the trail, the plants and animals he sees. Bryson’s love for nature is evident on every page, and his enthusiasm is contagious. He makes the reader want to get out and explore the world around them. His descriptions of the scenery are so vivid that you can almost see it yourself. And his stories about the people he meets are both funny and heartwarming. This is a book that will appeal to anyone who loves the outdoors and is a fun and informative read.

The Heartbeat of Trees By Peter Wohlleben

This product was recommended by Stephen Banks from 123pricecheck

Peter Wohlleben is a German forester who has spent his life working in the forests of Germany, and he has a deep love and understanding of trees. In this book, he shares his knowledge about trees and how they interact with each other and their environment. He also discusses the importance of forests and how they are essential to our planet’s health. This book is full of fascinating information about trees and their ecology. I was particularly interested in the section on how trees communicate with each other. Did you know that trees can send warning signals to each other when they are under attack by insects or disease? They do this by releasing chemicals into the air that other trees can detect. This is just one example of the many fascinating things you will learn about trees from this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in nature or wants to learn more about trees and their importance. It is an easy read and is packed with information. I guarantee that you will come away from this book with a greater appreciation for the natural world.

Totally worth the hours you spend reading it.

Wild Food By Biddy White Lennon & Evan Doyle

I read this book last year and now it’s one of my favorite reads. This book teaches you how to find food in the wild, in locations like seashores and woodlands, throughout the year. It also includes a wide variety of recipes so you can cook the food you find. I have taken a break from grilling on occasion to go foraging myself after taking inspiration from this book and have whipped up some tasty side dishes and desserts. It’s amazing!

The Hidden Life of Trees By Peter Wohlleben

This product was recommended by Matthew Tutt from What Yurt

This is such an incredible, ground-breaking book. As the name suggests, there really is a completely hidden side of trees that many of us have never even considered – such as the idea that trees communicate with other nearby trees, warning them of imminent danger. Within the book trees are compared to that of a social network, all connected and constantly sending each other messages.

Migrations By Charlotte McConaghy

This product was recommended by Iqbal Ahmad from Britannia School of Academics

If you are looking for the warming waters of literary eco-fiction talking about nature, this novel ‘Migration’ is for you. It is a visceral and haunting novel that opens with the lines, the animals are dying. Soon we will be alone here. The novel tells the story of Franny Stone; she Leaves behind everything, and she arrives in Greenland with a purpose: to follow the last Arctic terns in the world on what might be their final migration to Antarctica. This novel’s prose soars with its transporting descriptions of the planet’s landscapes and their dwindling inhabitants and contains many wonderful meditations on our responsibilities to our earthly housemates. McConaghy has created a devastatingly, hauntingly beautiful world of loss and destruction, the like of which we may be genuinely heading towards. I felt frightened and uplifted and conflicted and couldn’t stop reading and I know you will too. Absolutely wonderful.

A Survival Guide for Trying Times. The book is written as an in-depth discussion with coauthor Douglas Abrams. Goodall emphasizes repeatedly the critical necessity for international action to address climate catastrophe.

Despite the difficulties we confront, Goodall reminds us that there is still hope for our planet if we take action right away.

Life in the Woods By Henry Thoreau

This product was recommended by Sameed Alam from SoftMany

I have been an avid reader almost my entire life. One of the best and most inspiring books I’ve read about nature is Life in the Woods. It has a transcendentalist approach to philosophy and describes the problems with modern society. The author talks about how institutions have corrupted the purity of individuals.

The Secret Network of Nature By Peter Wohlleben

This product was recommended by Layla Acharya from Edwize

The book by Peter Wohlleben is a fascinating and eye-opening book on the subject of plant communication and the complex network of relationships between plants and their environment. Using his observations of nature over 25 years, he examines the many ways in which plants not only communicate with each other but also with us humans and animals. Although many people tend to believe that plants only respond to our interaction with them, this book points out that in fact, they can sense and even communicate with what’s going on around them as well. By observing how individual plants are positioned in their surrounding environment—whether surrounded by rocks or other plants or singly—Wohlleben reveals their purpose within that particular environment. For example, he finds that sages are normally found in areas where there are plenty of rocks for them to climb up.
