Forest walking : discovering the trees and woodlands of North America

Wohlleben, Peter 1964- (author.). Billinghurst, Jane, 1958- (author.).

Summary: For the first time, Peter and his longtime translator and editor, Jane Billinghurst, are teaming up to write an original book together--like a conversation between two old friends who love trees. Forest bathing is a recognized way to rejuvenate, reconnect, and restore our energy: The Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) has exploded in popularity in recent years due to the proven physical and mental health benefits of reconnecting with nature.
