Tristan Gooley

¿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.

Las sutiles claves para descifrar el calendario de la naturaleza Cuando sabemos qué buscar en la naturaleza, las estaciones que antes permanecían ocultas brillan con intensidad. Todos conocemos las
