Inhaltsangabe
A biologist reveals the secret world hidden in a single square meter of forest.
In this wholly original book, biologist David Haskell uses a one- square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee forest as a window onto the entire natural world. Visiting it almost daily for one year to trace nature's path through the seasons, he brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life.
Each of this book's short chapters begins with a simple observation: a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter; the first blossom of spring wildflowers. From these, Haskell spins a brilliant web of biology and ecology, explaining the science that binds together the tiniest microbes and the largest mammals and describing the ecosystems that have cycled for thousands- sometimes millions-of years. Each visit to the forest presents a nature story in miniature as Haskell elegantly teases out the intricate relationships that order the creatures and plants that call it home.
Written with remarkable grace and empathy, The Forest Unseen is a grand tour of nature in all its profundity. Haskell is a perfect guide into the world that exists beneath our feet and beyond our backyards.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Signed on the title page in black ink. This book was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the Pen/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award; his next book, The Songs of Trees, won the John Burroughs Medal for natural history writing. Here Haskell, a biologist, reveals the secret world hidden in a single square meter of old-growth forest in Tennessee, returning to it across the seasons. Fine except for some light bumping to its top and bottom of spine, and two dogeared pages in the book's middle. Jacket is very near fine because of some light creasing to spine ends. Haskell is already one of this century's foremost environmental writers. Blurbs by E.O. Wilson, Bill McKibben, and Greg Graffin. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1611813078909
