    This book offers a fascinating exploration into the complex life of forests, revealing the social networks and communication methods that trees use to survive and thrive. The author, a forester, draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to illustrate how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with the sick and the weak, and even warn each other of impending dangers. With deep understanding and an eye for the wonder of these essential organisms, the narrative transforms the way we perceive trees, encouraging us to appreciate the intricate and interconnected life of the forest.
