A dazzling scientific detective story from the ecologist who first discovered the hidden language of trees

No one has done more to transform our understanding of trees than the world-renowned scientist Suzanne Simard. Now she shares the secrets of a lifetime spent uncovering startling truths about trees: their cooperation, healing capacity, memory, wisdom and sentience.

Raised in the forests of British Columbia, where her family has lived for generations, Professor Simard did not set out to be a scientist. She was working in the forest service when she first discovered how trees communicate underground through an immense web of fungi, at the centre of which lie the Mother Trees: the mysterious, powerful entities that nurture their kin and sustain the forest.

Though her ground-breaking findings were initially dismissed and even ridiculed, they are now firmly supported by the data. As her remarkable journey shows us, science is not a realm apart from ordinary life, but deeply connected with our humanity.

In Finding the Mother Tree, she reveals how the complex cycle of forest life - on which we rely for our existence - offers profound lessons about resilience and kinship, and must be preserved before it's too late.

Dr. Suzanne Simard was raised in the Monashee Mountains of British Columbia. She is Professor of Forest Ecology in the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Forestry, and has earned a global reputation for her research on tree connectivity and communication and its impact on the health and biodiversity of forests.

难得的女科学家自传，得空一定写长书评。可以看到女性身份如何影响她的研究，读到在学术会议上溢乳沾湿衣服的尴尬细节，知道一个女人即使得到大学职位也依然被丈夫赋以母职惩罚加以威胁。在这个特别的时刻，我尤其感谢我所处的森林有一棵母树，而我即使不成材只是一只迁徙来的小动物也被温柔对待。

植物有感觉吗？植物会思考吗？植物是否一直是被动的呢？植物是食物链中的底层，它们对谁似乎都无权说“不”，但当我们看到瞬间收缩叶片的含羞草，巧设机关捕捉昆虫的食虫植物，用形态、气味欺骗昆虫的兰花时，相信我们每个人都无法毫不犹豫地说出答案。如果你也曾经产生过这样的疑问，那么这本书将会给出颠覆你认知的答案。

不难发现，精彩的科学内容本身已具备了充分的戏剧性，甚至是不可多得的电影题材，实际上，母亲树的概念以及它与周围树木的联系已经进入了好莱坞，成为电影《阿凡达》中树木的中心概念，而本书的戏剧性还不止于此。本书记载了一位执着的科学家、一个血液里融入了森林的人，在荒野世界甘守寂寞、百折不挠，在科研领域披荆斩棘、无怨无悔，向世界揭示“阿凡达”真实存在的历程，这是另一个引人入胜的故事。

这本书是一个整体，关于生命的秘密、精彩的故事和传奇的人生。森林给予我们的不仅仅是建造房屋的木材、造纸的纤维和治疗疾病的药物，在森林之歌中，我们可以汲取来自深远时空的智慧。这本书使我再一次认识到在这颗蓝色星球上，缄默不语的植物作为忍辱负重的生命体，在亿万年卓越奇幻的演化之路上，为所有动物提供了适合栖居的环境之余，还创造了自己的文明和智慧。万物有灵，而这不可思议的一切，又充满着沉潜和内敛的情意。
