New copy in Folio's eco-wrapping, as received directly from the publisher. Stock images. Peter Wohlleben reveals the secret lives of trees in this captivating exploration of woodland connection. With delicate artwork by Dina Brodsky, this tactile, nature-inspired book invites readers to slow down and look closer. Deep in the forest, something remarkable is happening. Trees talk. They nurture their young, warn their neighbours of danger and share nutrients through a vast underground network - the 'wood-wide web'. In 'The Hidden Life of Trees', forester Peter Wohlleben opens our eyes to the rich and surprising world of woodland life, where trees are not solitary sentinels but part of a vibrant, social community. This sympathetically designed Folio Society edition features endpapers printed with a subtle design of willow leaves, along with seven full-page colour illustrations and black-and-white vignettes. The book is bound in blocked cloth with a printed inset label and the slipcase has a natural textured, grainy feel. Dina Brodsky's closely observed and finely detailed drawings of trees are drawn from life and portray them as both mysterious and majestic. Printed on Munken Premium Cream paper. 232 pages. 8¾'' × 6¼'' (22.2 × 15.9 cms). Printed and bound in Slovakia. ORDERS professionally packed, tracked and insured. U.S. BUYERS: Books remain exempt from import duty under U.S. law. I ship with a DDP service and provide accurate customs forms to protect buyers from unnecessary charges and to minimise delays.…

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

Shipping terms
Orders are sent out within 2 business days and are always securely and professionally packaged and fully insured. Default postage costs are based on orders weighing up to 2.2 lbs, or 1 kg (book + packaging materials). If your book order is heavy and/or oversized, we may contact you to let you know an additional postage charge is necessary. We will never take payment until extra costs have been agreed by you.
The cost of shipping to Europe by Surface Mail (i.e. Standard Shipping option) is often as much as by Airmail and it is actually higher than Airmail for any package weighing 800 gms or more. As a result, we always ship to Europe by Airmail. Surface Mail can be significantly cheaper when shipping to the Rest of the World so both options are quoted but delivery times can be very lengthy so we do not recommend this service.
