Michael asked this question about The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate: Discoveries from a Secret World:
Why does the author struggle to convey simple scientific information? Also, why does he struggle to get the information technically accurate? Also, why does the author not define his terminology? Also, why does he skim over points requiring scientific examples? Also, why does he lean on subjective ideas rather than using a decent PubMed search? Also, why are a number of his scientific comparisons incorrect?
Sharon Bakar Plenty of science for this lay reader! Truly impressed with the book. Also with the way he makes a complex subject accessible and fascinating.

Suggest…morePlenty of science for this lay reader! Truly impressed with the book. Also with the way he makes a complex subject accessible and fascinating.

Suggest if you want more data that you go read the actual studies he references.(less)
