From the world's leading forest ecologist who forever changed how people view trees and their connections to one another and to other living things in the forest--a moving, inspiring journey of discovery of how, as a child in love with the woods, the author came to believe that trees communicate with one another and the story of how she proved her seemingly laughable theory, uncovering their secrets as well, and in the process became a world-renowned scientist. Suzanne Simard is a pioneer on the frontier of plant communication and intelligence; she's been compared to Rachel Carson, hailed as a scientist who conveys complex, technical ideas in a way that is both dazzling and profound. Her work has influenced filmmakers (the Tree of Souls of James Cameron's Avatar) and her TED talks have been viewed by more than 10 million people worldwide. Now, in her first book, Simard brilliantly illuminates the fascinating and vital truth about trees--not simply the source of timber or pulp, but a co

Alone in the wilds of British Columbia, cut off from family and friends, uncertain of how long he may be able to make it, Clay Hayes battles starvation, predators, and the unforgiving shores of Chilko Lake in a struggle for survival—and half a million dollars. This harsh and vast landscape of spruce and pine, rock and glacier wouldn’t be an easy place to survive and he knew it. With winter fast approaching and grizzlies nearby, things needed to be done — quickly – a cabin, nets, snares, food. In this firsthand account, Clay recalls his wilderness experiences, from being stalked by a mountain lion and charged by a grizzly bear to building a cabin and shooting the most important shot of his life with his hand-made longbow.

It gives us an insight into a life that uniquely pr
