Summary
THE LATEST GUIDE TO THE HIDDEN MEANING OF NATURE FROM THE NATURAL NAVIGATOR, TRISTAN GOOLEY
--------------
Do two trees ever appear identical? No, but why? Every small difference is a clue.
Each tree we meet is filled with signs that reveal secrets about the life of that tree and the landscape we stand in. The clues are easy to spot when you know what to look for, but remain invisible to most people.
In How to Read a Tree, you'll discover the simple principles that explain the shapes and patterns you can see in trees and what they mean. And you'll learn rare skills that can be applied every time you pass a tree, whether you are in a town or a wilder spot.
As the author of the international bestsellers The Walker's Guide and How to Read Water, Tristan Gooley knows how to uncover the phenomena worth looking for. He has been instructing people in the art of reading trees for two decades and this book includes signs that will not be found in any other book in the world.
Once you have learned to see these things it is impossible to unsee them. We will never look at a tree the same way again.
-----------------
'An important book and a pleasure to read.' - Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path
'You will never look at a tree in the same way again after reading this mesmerising book. Gooley drops learning as lightly as blossom falls in spring.' - John Lewis-Stempel
'Tristan Gooley has done trees the greatest service.' - Isabella Tree
'Will undoubtedly leave you with a deeper appreciation of trees...your country walks will never be quite the same again' - Daily Mail

Exceptionally informative and engaging
Thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating book. As soon as I finished listening, I started from the beginning again to make sure I missed nothing, something no other book has made me do.

Enlightening
An outstanding insight into the world of trees. Lots of 'ahh' moments as the clues reveal themselves.

Brilliant!
Exceptionally informative, there’s new information and insights in each paragraph let alone chapter.
You can tell the author narrating is the expert himself, as it’s totally different to when someone else voices specialist books. The intonation and cadence is spot on.
It’s specialist yet completely accessible and humorously told.
Thank you so much, just finished and re-listening straight away. It’ll change the way forever I am able to decode the trees around me.

Interesting content badly delivered
Buy the book. The author’s voice is expressionless and makes the content hard to follow.

insightful information, poor delivery
A really interesting subject with lots of information provided . You are tempted to find out more.
The problem is that the delivery is very monotonous.
