Books like The voice of the infinite in the small by Joanne Elizabeth Lauck


The Voice of the Infinite in the Small is a psychological and spiritual look at our misaligned relationship with insects and related creatures. It is less about insects and more about reinventing ourselves as a compassionate people open to the wisdom of nature in all her forms. It employes common so-called pests species to highlight a variety of issues concerning our relationship. Included in the second edition, in particular, (published by Shambhala in 2002) are many stories of kinship and communion with these kinds of creatures. Missing from the second issue is the chapter on bacteria as Shambhala thought that the anthrax scare would stop people from wanting to read the book.

πŸ“˜ The hidden life of trees

Are trees social beings? Forester and author Peter Wohlleben makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland.
