The Forest Unseen: A Year's Watch in Nature
By: David George Haskell
visitung a one-square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee forest almost daily for one year, biologist David Haskell traces nature's path through the seasons and brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life. Beginning with simple ebservations a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter: the first blossom of spring wildflowers Haskell spins a brilliant web of biology, ecology, and poetry. He explains the science that binds together the tiniest microbes and the largest mammals, and describes the ecosystems that have cycled for thousands sometimes millions of years. written with remarkable grace and empathy, The Forest Unseen is a grand tour of nature in all its beauty and complexity.
