Finding the Mother Tree Paperback – 1 January 2022

This is a beautiful book. Occasionally, the details are overwhelming. But the book is full of insights into the mysteries of life on this planet. Simard writes with felicity, style and gusto.

Tree lovers should read it once.

Very relevant book to fight today's rampant deforestation

Overall, I like the book. It is well written, and it is easy to follow the narrative.I applaud Suzanne Simard for conducting her research despite stiff opposition. However, it's important to read till the end. This is when you realize she has rediscovered ancient wisdom but not discovered the mycorrhizal networks. However, she put them into a Western scientific context, and this is invaluableThe book itself flows between personal and scientific stories, and it is crucial to realize she presents both stories from her perspective.It was good to understand where the term "Wood-Wide Web" came from!

That is the title to be renamed, although some good insights about trees are there the major part covered is author’s story. This book should have been 100 pages about trees…somehow the writing didn’t worked for me

The book is very detailed in terms of science, forestry, and botany. At times it felt like too many details for someone unfamiliar with the topic, but it never lost my interest. The detailed accounts of the research were accompanied by details of the life of Suzanne Simard while she struggled with being heard in an industry that values more production over preservation. We accompany her through her research as well as her life, including grief, nostalgia, romance, sickness, etc. in other words, we see a complete human being figuring herself out while working for nature and against its destruction

After seeing several talks and documentary interviews, and my recent foray into studying fungus... I got Suzanne Simards wonderful 'biography'. Living near Vancouver as well... I know the forests she has studied.This research is astonishing... she makes the scientific discoveries exciting by taking you there between the bees and the bears to marvel at the beautiful relationship between a layer of fungus and some of the most magnificent trees on earth.Hopefully, her research program will help save some of the most magnificent forests on earth - in British Columbia and worldwide. If governments can staff their forestry management divisions with literate employees.A thoroughly enjoyable read - including her personal battles - that also teaches so much about forest biology.

What a fascinating, inspiring, beautiful read. The weaving of her personal story with her scientific breakthroughs to show our interconnectedness with nature and each other was so moving. Photos in the book were a lovely touch. Book arrived in good condition.

Beautiful and moving life story of an intelligent and warm-hearted women. Thanks to her great love of forests, her perseverence , and cleverly conducted experiments we have solid scientific evidence that clear-cutting and weeding are not only harming the integral ecosystem of forests and aggravating climate change, but that these practices are not even economically sound, as the "cash-crops trees" are vulnerable and tend to wither prematurely. Let's hope that governments around the world get the message and introduce regulations that enforce sensible forest-managing rules.
