Peter Wohlleben is one of my favourite authors, and on good grounds. This time, the author explores our forests and trees on the back of a documentary he made. Throughout the book he references how tree planting schemes aren't always as good as they seem, how trees rely on their parent trees and what happens if they do not have one. I enjoyed listening to Peter document his fascination with trees and the variety of topics explored and felt it was well-balanced, making it not a dull read about all of our failings. Yes, it highlights many, but also explores what we should do, in some cases, are doing.

Primo Natura reviewed Secret Life of Cows by Rosamund Young
The Secret Life of Cows Uncovered
5 stars
The secret life of cows explores one woman and her small herd of cows and other animals. The book predominantly focuses on the lives of individual cows and their quirks. While we cannot be sure what cows communicate exactly, the book explores of changes in behaviour is one of the ways this independent herd alerts the farmer they need help.
The book also touches on animal welfare and perhaps why people are allergic to milk. Near the end of the books, she discusses other animals on the farm, including the pigs and chickens.

A Glimpse Into The Near Future
4 stars
The book provides insights into the near future of birth, pleasure, food and death, with interviews and tours of the facilities changing our future.
Personally, I wasn't keen on listening to the final chapters about death; however, I found the other chapters interesting, and shocking in both positive and negatives ways. This book is for people curious about the topics mentioned and how technology and innovation will change them forever.
