Nature Is Never Silent: how animals and plants communicate with each other

‘It's always amazing how talkative nature is — very enlightening and entertaining!’ * Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees * ‘In accessible language [Ziege] reports on fascinatingly clever chemical communication among bacteria; tells how wild rabbits coordinate and how badgers warn their enemies … Mushrooms set traps, fish lie, and fox and fir tree say goodnight. Illuminating brain food.’ * OÖ news * ‘Communication between animals and plants takes on a whole new dimension.’ * Mittagzmagazin * ‘In the forest and in your own garden, things are ... anything but quiet and calm, as Madlen Ziege, in a light and entertaining way, and using astonishing scientific knowledge, shows us.’ * Kronen Zeitung * ‘Ziege has an engaging style, and, for a book dealing with difficult concepts, Nature Is Never Silent makes for a pleasurable read … The author includes some of her own charming black and white illustrations — some people are just too talented! I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who has listened to birds in the bush, and wondered what the sounds mean.’ -- Penelope Cottier * The Canberra Times *
