Las sutiles claves para descifrar el calendario de la naturalezaCuando sabemos qué buscar en la naturaleza, las estaciones que antes permanecían ocultas brillan con intensidad. Todos conocemos las cuatro estaciones del año, pero la naturaleza cambia mucho más a menudo de lo que creemos: el agua siempre es más clara en junio, una estrella concreta marca el sur a medianoche en una fecha exacta y la sombra de las mariposas nos permite orientarnos en los campos florecientes. El mundo natural está lleno de pistas, aunque rara vez sabemos leerlas.En Las estaciones ocultas, Tristan Gooley nos enseña a descifrar las señales que nos ofrecen el sol, la luna, las estrellas, las plantas, los hongos, los animales, el agua y el clima. Gracias a su guía experta, el otoño nos hablará a través de las hojas, aromas y hongos; la primavera, con flores silvestres, nubes y fascinantes comportamientos animales; el verano, desde las playas y campos, y el invierno, gracias a la nieve y los gélidos cielos nocturnos. El año se convertirá así en una sucesión de microestaciones en constante transformación, repletas de maravillas. En Las estaciones ocultas descubriremos una forma nueva de observar el mundo, y no volveremos a ver, ni oír, ni oler las estaciones de la misma manera. Uno de los mejores libros para regalar según las librerías Barnes & Noble
