    About this audiobook

    Trees are a familiar feature of any landscape, yet we rarely think about them. They are necessary for maintaining the health of the global ecosystem and provide many material things but they are more of an integral part of our lives than we may at first consider. The Secret Life of Trees Audiobook aims to enlighten you on the importance of trees, how they are able to feel, see, hear, smell and speak, and the specific ways trees can contribute even more to our mental balance, harmony, and health.

      Lots of interesting and varied information about trees from scientific and spiritual perspectives. The book is presented as a course of study, each chapter starting with a summary of what will be learned. The introduction and first chapter seemed to be exactly the same.
