by 彼得‧渥雷本(Peter Wohlleben)
Language: Chinese
Release Date: July 5, 2018

  荒野基金會董事長/徐仁修 生態藝術家、自然教育工作者/黃一峯 科普書籍作者、自然觀察家/黃仕傑 園藝治療師/黃盛璘 林試所植物園組組長/董景生 國立臺灣大學森林環境暨資源學系教授兼實驗林管理處處長/蔡明哲 ** ** ~齊聲推薦~ ** ** ◆◆◆ ** ** 這一次,彼得・渥雷本要帶我們走出森林, 走進身邊的花園,聆聽自然祕語。   你或許有過這樣的經驗,當看見燕子成群低飛、成群的蚯蚓鑽地而出,心裡頭便有了底:即將要變天了!   其實,大自然將更多的祕密化作了一條條線索,藏在花園裡。只要我們打開感官,用心觀察花草蟲鳥、溫度、濕度、氣味、聲音等等,哪怕只是一片小小的泥土,讀懂了,你都能解開祕密,掌握大自然帶來的第一手消息。   這是一本教你照顧花園的好書,也是一本帶你在花園裡接應萬物、與自然溝通的教本。其實你無須遠行,只要懂得如何照顧、解讀自己的花園,花園早已將大自然帶到身邊。 ◆◆◆   觀看**、凝聽、然後……**驚喜   ◆不妨在花園裡幫小雛菊留一片小園地,它們是稱職的氣象預報員。只要瞄一眼花瓣,就能從開闔中知曉今日晴雨。   ◆月亮的引力其實不只能使海水漲高,其實也能使地殼抬升。有時候在一天內,花園的土地竟可有上下起伏六十公分的位差,只是我們無法察覺,必須透過複雜的儀器才能測量。   ◆南瓜在清晨五點開花,金盞花在八點打開花瓣,九點是瑪格麗特,正午則是午時花。每一種花都有不同的綻放時間,且準確到能與時鐘匹敵。所以,有人利用不同花朵的綻放時間,設計了花鐘報時。   ◆如果想照顧好植物,千萬別天天澆水,否則,植物習慣了水分充足的環境,就會被慣壞,不願好好向下紮根。   ◆如果讓植物擁有自由意志,為自己的外觀選擇一種顏色,答案會跌破眾人眼鏡:絕不是綠色。因為綠光是日光被植物過濾、使用以後,用不到的光線。   彼得.渥雷本將個人對動植物的觀察、對大自然的感動,以暢達、專業的筆調說明,讓讀者深切感應到他的滿腔熱情,在閱讀時不僅產生共鳴,更能了解自然現象的形成與影響。這是一本不與實務脫節的自然智識好書,許多有趣的現象都能在書中找到答案:氣溫升到十二度後,蜜蜂才會出現在花園;大熱天不用每天澆水;睡蓮在快下雨前幾小時會自動合起…… 作者以其親身體驗配合專業學理,從追蹤大自然說起,引導讀者如何預知氣候;如何於自家花園觀看樹的搖擺,測出風的強度;學習觀察冰雹剖面紋理;為何雨後的星空特別亮……在自家院子裡有著千百種東西,等著你去發現、去觀察……     作者/譯者簡介 【作者簡介】 彼得・渥雷本Peter...
