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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten with remarkable grace and empathy, \u003ci\u003eThe Forest Unseen\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380375257343,"sku":"9780143122944","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780143122944_s600x595.jpg?v=1777912457","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780143122944","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
