Las sutiles claves para descifrar el calendario de la naturalezaCuando sabemos qué buscar en la naturaleza, las estaciones que antes permanecían ocultas brillan con intensidad. Todos conocemos las cuatro estaciones del año, pero la naturaleza cambia mucho mas a menudo de lo que creemos: el agua siempre es mas clara en junio, una estrella concreta marca el sur a medianoche en una fecha exacta y la sombra de las mariposas nos permite orientarnos en los campos florecientes. El mundo natural esta lleno de pistas, aunque rara vez sabemos leerlas.En Las estaciones ocultas, Tristan Gooley nos enseña a descifrar las señales que nos ofrecen el sol, la luna, las estrellas, las plantas, los hongos, los animales, el agua y el clima. Gracias a su guia experta, el otoño nos hablara a traves de las hojas, aromas y hongos; la primavera, con flores silvestres, nubes y fascinantes comportamientos animales; el verano, desde las playas y campos, y el invierno, gracias a la nieve y los gelidos cielos nocturnos. El año se convertira asi en una sucesion de microestaciones en constante transformacion, repletas de maravillas. En Las estaciones ocultas descubriremos una forma nueva de observar el mundo, y no volveremos a ver, ni oir, ni oler las estaciones de la misma manera.

¿Por qué no hay dos árboles iguales?Los árboles están deseando decirnos muchas cosas. Si los escuchamos, nos hablarán de la tierra, del agua, de las personas, de los animales, del clima y del paso del tiempo. Y nos hablaran tambien de sus vidas, de lo bueno y de lo malo. Los arboles cuentan una historia, pero solo a quienes saben leerla.En Como leer un arbol, descubriremos los mensajes que un arbol oculta a plena vista: en sus ramas y hojas; en su corteza, brotes y flores; incluso en su tocon. A partir de sencillos principios, entenderemos las formas y patrones que encontramos en los arboles, y conoceremos su significado. Aprenderemos, en definitiva, habilidades poco comunes que podremos aplicar cada vez que pasemos junto a un arbol, tanto en el corazon de una gran metropolis como en el mas agreste de los paisajes.Tras dos decadas instruyendo a la gente en el arte de leer la naturaleza, y con varios best sellers a sus espaldas, Tristan Gooley sabe a la perfeccion como detectar que fenomenos buscar, y no hay nadie como el para guiarnos en este fascinante viaje de descubrimiento.
