This is an abridged illustrated version of the book by the same name which I have read prior. I read this one aloud to my kids. We all loved it. ( )

Gorgeously illustrated abridged version of the author's work on trees and forests. The prose seemed a bit clunky in places with abrupt transitions and unclear references but I'm not sure whether this was due to the author, the translator, or the abridgement. Even so, the main points on the complex life of forests as communities of trees come across. ( )

An early Christmas present - a coffee table book version of Wohleben’s observations on trees and forests. Gorgeous! ( )

This is the coffee-table version of Peter Wohlleben's popular book The Hidden Life of Trees. It contains an abbreviated version of the text, as well as many stunning full-page photographs of trees and forests. Just as with the original book, the text in The Hidden Life of Trees: The Illustrated Edition is a fascinating study of the ways in which trees perceive the world and interact with each other. If you love trees, you will probably enjoy this book! The photos have, for the most part, been well chosen to complement the text well. I am not sure, however, that they really contribute that much. Personally, I prefer the greater textual detail in the original book (the original also contains endnotes and references that the illustrated edition lacks). I think this illustrated edition would make a nice gift book for a nature- and tree-loving friend, but I'd recommend the original book before this one. ( )
