The Weather Detective: Rediscovering Nature’s Secret Signs

Many of us town and city dwellers no longer have a close connection to the natural world. As urbanites, we have sleepwalked into a more sterile environment, where the beating heart of nature is subdued and hard to hear. We walk down impermeable orange-lit streets unable to see the stars at night or stride quickly across paved squares, our peripheral vision dominated by high-rise buildings. We have lost touch.

In The Weather Detective, Peter Wohlleben is determined to show us another way. Wohlleben has worked with nature throughout his career including with the forestry commission in Germany and managing his woodland. He is amply qualified to show us the route through the trees, back to nature.
