This beautifully illustrated book brings together sixty essential life lessons inspired by the infinite wisdom of trees.
Trees do not have brains to think with, or nervous systems that cause them to feel things, and yet they are undeniably clever. From their ability to adapt, to their understanding of the strength of networks and mutually beneficial relationships, they put us to shame with their natural ability to thrive, even when they find themselves in less than ideal environments.
This beautifully illustrated book brings together sixty universal life lessons taken from the infinite wisdom of trees. We learn about the importance of forward-planning from the Chinese bamboo tree, which seemingly doesn't grow at all for the first four years of its life, before shooting 80 feet upwards in six weeks; in those four years, it is in fact growing an amazingly strong underground root network to support sudden growth. And acacias, who look out for each other by producing a gas when they're being nibbled on by herbivores to warn their nearby friends.
From the importance of patience, to drawing strength from others, to weathering the storm, to dealing with life's most persistent irritants - this is a celebration of the heroes of the forest, and an essential companion for dipping into when we need a little inspiration.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Condition: Very Good. : Este libro bellamente ilustrado reúne sesenta lecciones de vida esenciales inspiradas en la sabiduría infinita de los árboles. Los árboles no tienen cerebros para pensar ni sistemas nerviosos que les hagan sentir cosas, y sin embargo son innegablemente inteligentes. Desde su capacidad de adaptación hasta su comprensión de la fuerza de las redes y las relaciones mutuamente beneficiosas, nos avergüenzan con su capacidad natural para prosperar, incluso cuando se encuentran en entornos poco ideales. Desde la importancia de la paciencia, hasta la obtención de fuerza de los demás, pasando por capear la tormenta y lidiar con los irritantes más persistentes de la vida, esta es una celebración de los héroes del bosque y un compañero esencial para consultar cuando necesitamos un poco de inspiración.
