The mysteries and emotional richness of the animal world revealed as never before, from the author of the Sunday Times bestseller The Hidden Life of Trees.
Peter Wohlleben spent over twenty years working for the forestry
commission in Germany before leaving to put his ideas of ecology
into practice. He now runs an environmentally-friendly woodland in
Germany, where he is working towards the return of primeval
forests, as well as caring for both wild and domestic animals.
Wohlleben has been celebrated for his distinctive approach to
writing about nature; he brings to life groundbreaking scientific
research through his observations of nature and the animals he
lives amongst. He is also the author of the international
bestseller The Hidden Life of Trees.
Always fascinating… Wry, avuncular, careful and kind, Wohlleben
guides us from one creature to the next
*Guardian*
Wohlleben presents short chapter in bite-sized portions, so the
reader has a constant sense of learning something new almost with
every page ... The formula is provably winning. I still felt I was
on a robust learning curve as subjects as diverse as motherly love,
gratitude, deception, desire, shame and knowledge of good and evil
were explored one by one ... fascinating
*Observer*
Wohlleben is connecting with something big here… He truffles up
some wonderful animal facts, too… Wohlleben’s empathy with animals
can be touching and illuminating
*Sunday Times*
Entertaining and enthusiastic
*Daily Telegraph*
The Inner Life of Animals will rock your world. Surprising,
humbling, and filled with delight, this book shows us that animals
think, feel, and know in much the same way as we do -- and that
their lives are, to them, as precious as ours are to us.
*Sy Montgomery, author of THE SOUL OF AN OCTOPUS*
