Visiting it almost daily for one year to trace nature's path through the seasons, he brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of this book's short chapters begins with a simple observation: a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter; the first blossom of spring wildflowers. From these, Haskell spins a brilliant web of biology and ecology, explaining the science that binds together the tiniest microbes and the largest mammals and describing the ecosystems that have cycled for thousands- sometimes millions-of years. Each visit to the forest presents a nature story in miniature as Haskell elegantly teases out the intricate relationships that order the creatures and plants that call it home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten with remarkable grace and empathy, \u003ci\u003eThe Forest Unseen\u003c\/i\u003e is a grand tour of nature in all its profundity.
