FINDING THE MOTHER TREE - SUZANNE SIMARD KARTON...

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'A scientific memoir as gripping as any HBO drama series' Kate
Kellaway  Observer 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.
