'It's always amazing how talkative nature is – very enlightening and entertaining!'
Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees
For fans of Entangled Life and The Hidden Life of Trees, a fascinating journey into the world of plants and animals, and the ways they communicate with each other.
In forests, fields and even gardens, there is a constant exchange of information going on. Animals and plants must communicate with one another to survive, but they also tell lies, set traps, talk to themselves and speak to each other in a variety of unexpected ways.
In Nature is Never Silent, behavioural biologist, Madlen Ziege, reveals the fascinating world of nonhuman communication. In charming, humorous and accessible prose, she shows how nature’s language can help us to understand our own place in the natural world a little better.
'Tanya Schneider’s lilting Australian accent adds liveliness to this captivating look at how living beings send and receive information with other beings, what impedes or facilitates the communication, and why this is important for us to understand. Schneider’s delight as she describes plants, animals, and their interactions is intricate and engaging. The enlightening data will leave listeners in awe of how much is yet to be learned and discovered in our vast environment.'
