Tristan Gooley

'When we know what to look for and what it means, seasonal moments that were once hidden shine brightly.'In The Hidden Seasons, Tristan Gooley shows us how to read the clues that the sun, moon, stars, plants, fungi, animals, water and weather give us - but that we continually miss, because we don't know how and where to look.Spring is the time of wildflower signs, unique cloud shapes and curious animal behaviour. Summer is a time of coastal clues, astronomical extremes and secret grass patterns. Autumn is a time for reading leaves, deciphering scents and investigating fungi. And in winter, we learn to read snow, deepen our star knowledge and use rare methods to find clues in overlooked places, including indoors.As with Tristan Gooley's bestsellers The Walker's Guide, How to Read Water and How to Read a Tree, The Hidden Seasons inspires us to explore these signs for ourselves, giving us many rich insights into our turning year. Soon we will be able to anticipate and celebrate daily changes that few notice, however surprising they may be.And the seasons will never look, sound or smell the same again.

Puud tahavad meile nii palju rääkida. Nad jutustavad maast, veest, inimestest, loomadest, ilmast ja ajast. Ja nad räägivad ka oma elust - nii headest kui halbadest aegadest. Puud jutustavad lugusid, aga ainult neile, kes oskavad neid lugeda. Iga puu, mida kohtame, on täis märke, mis räägivad selle elu ja maastiku saladusi. Need vihjed on lihtsad märgata, kui tead, mida otsida, aga enamikule inimestest jäävad need nähtamatuks.Selles raamatus näitab Tristan Gooley, kuidas leida vihjeid puu okstes ja lehtedes, koores, pungades ja õites ... isegi kändudes. Nagu lumehelbed, pole ka kaks puud kunagi täpselt ühesugused. Iga erinevus paljastab loo, mida see puu on läbi elanud - kui vaid peatume ja vaatame hoolikalt. Vhet pole, kas kõnnid metsas, aias või pargis, need märgid on olemas ja ainult ootavad lugemist.Kui oled kord neid asju nägema õppinud, on võimatu neid enam mitte märgata. Pärast selle raamatu lugemist ei vaata sa ühtki puud enam kunagi sama pilguga!

Tuntud inglise looduseuurija Tristan Gooley heidab selles raamatus pilgu üles taevasse, et tutvustada ilma saladusi. Pärast selle raamatu läbi lugemist oskad ennustada torme ja päikselisi päevi ilma, et peaksid oma nutitelefonist abi otsima!Aga "Ilma salamaailm" ei aita mitte ainult ilma ennustada, vaid annab meile sellest täiesti uue ettekujutuse - ilm tähendab väikesi mikrokliimasid, mis muutuvad meie ümber igal sammul, olgu metsas või linnatänaval. Ilm puu ühel ja teisel pool pole kunagi sama! Näiteks kirjeldab Gooley, miks tuul puhub puude varjus kiiremini, mis on ka põhjus, miks inimesed kuumal päeval puu alla lähevad - seal on küll vari, aga ka jahedam tuuleõhk.Kui õpime vaatlema tuule, pilvede, udu, temperatuuri, vihma ja paljude muude ilmastikunähtuste keerukat koosmõju, hakkame ilmamustreid paremini mõistma ning avastame saladusi kõikjalt enda ümbert. Ilm vormib meie maastikku ja maastik omakorda ilma. Kõik, mida taevas näeme, peegeldab seda, kes me ise oleme. Ilm on kui salajane kaart, mis jutustab, kuidas just ilma tõttu on meie linnad, metsad ja mäed just niisugused nagu need on.Maailm ja ilm ei tundu enam kunagi endised.

Trees are keen to tell us so much. They'll tell us about the land, the water, the people, the animals, the weather, and time. And they will tell us about their lives, the good bits and bad. Trees tell a story, but only to those who know how to read it. In How to Read a Tree, Gooley uncovers the clues hiding in plain sight: in a tree's branches and leaves; its bark, buds, and flowers; even its stump. Leaves with a pale, central streak mean that water is nearby. Young, low-growing branches show that a tree is struggling. And reddish or purple bark signals new growth. Like snowflakes, no two trees are exactly the same. Every difference reveals the epic story this tree has lived--if we stop to look closely.

In The Secret World of Weather, bestselling author Tristan Gooley turns his gaze up to the sky, bringing his signature brand of close observation and eye-opening deduction to the fascinating world of weather. Every cloud, every change in temperature, every raindrop, every sunbeam, every breeze reveals something about our weather--if you know what to look for. Before you know it, you'll be able to forecast impending storms, sunny days, and everything in between, all without needing to consult your smartphone.But The Secret World of Weather goes far beyond mere weather prediction, changing the very way we think about weather itself. Weather is not something that blankets an area; rather, it changes constantly as you walk through woods or turn down a street. The weather is never identical on two sides of a tree--or even beneath it. Take, for example, Gooley's remarkable discovery that breezes accelerate beneath a tree. To Gooley, this is "weather," a tiny microclimate that explains why people sit beneath a tree to cool down--not only for the shade but, subconsciously, for cooler breeze. And so Gooley shows us not only what the weather will be like five days from now, but also what to expect about the weather around every corner.By carefully observing the subtle interplay of wind, cloud, fog, temperature, rain and many other phenomena, we not only form a deeper understanding of weather patterns, but also unlock secrets about our environment. Weather forms our landscape, and landscape forms our weather. Everything we see in the sky reflects where we are. When we learn to read weather's signs, Gooley shows us, the weather becomes our map, revealing to us how it has made our towns, cities, woods, and hills what they are. You'll never see your surroundings the same way again.

Author of the international bestsellers The Walker's Guide to Outdoor CluesSigns and How to Read Water illuminates another subject of perennial interest and importance: the weather.

'A remarkable achievement' - Stephen FryIn 2015 #thedress captured the world’s imagination. Was the dress in the picture white and gold or blue and black? It inspired the author to ask: if people in the same time and place can see the same thing differently, how did people in distant times and places see the world?Jam-packed with fascinating stories, facts and insights and impeccably researched, A History of Seeing in Eleven Inventions investigates the story of seeing from the evolution of eyes 500 million years ago to the present day. Time after time, it reveals, inventions that changed how people saw the world ended up changing it altogether.Twenty-first-century life is more visual than ever, and seeing overwhelmingly dominates our senses.Can our eyes keep up with technology? Have we gone as far as the eye can see?

‘Never have I felt so connected to the natural world than when trailing . . . The direction of the wind is noted almost subconsciously, the alarm calls of birds are obvious and the track and sign of all the other animals, even insects, crossing your trail reveal themselves. It’s a strangely peaceful state where every sense seems to be stretched to the limit in a state of extreme concentration, and yet one feels completely relaxed and at peace. The whole of nature is revealed within an animal trail.’John Rhyder explores the world of British mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians through their tracks and other signs, including scat, feeding, damage to trees, dens, beds and nests, providing a fully explained and illustrated guide to the natural world around us.Following years of extensive research from one of the UK’s leading wildlife trackers, Track and Sign is illustrated with line drawings and photographs, making identification in the field effective and accurate for both the complete beginner and the expert naturalist.

Before GPS, before the compass, and even before cartography, humankind was navigating. A windswept tree, the depth of a puddle, or a trill of birdsong could point the way home, and they still do--if you know how to look. With The Natural Navigator, his first book, Tristan Gooley invited us to notice the directional clues hidden all around: in the sun, moon, stars, clouds, weather patterns, lengthening shadows, changing tides, growing plants, and habits of wildlife. A decade after publication, this modern classic still reminds us that we can find south by joining the horns of the crescent moon--and find adventure in our own backyards.

Clocks, compasses, GPS, and Google can only get us so far. In this special collection, lifelong wanderer and New York Times-bestselling author Tristian Gooley walks us through, book-by-book, the near-forgotten art of examining nature's signs and patterns. Gooley begins to teach the singular way he senses signs in the wild that most people overlook in How to Read Nature. In The Natural Navigator, he shows how to find our way by the stars, rivers, clouds, and more. And New York Times bestseller How to Read Water is Gooley's deep dive into everything from puddles to the sea, teaching navigators at any experience level to hear the whispers of water. Also included: a waterproof pocket field notebook to kick-start your own adventures This comprehensive set includes: How to Read Nature How to Read Water The Natural Navigator 10th Anniversary Edition Bonus waterproof pocket field notebook

'A paean to the beauty and majesty of nature, especially the nature we overlook in our back gardens and local parks... And like all the best books, it makes the world around you a lot more interesting' - Spectator'Beautifully written... I promise you will feel more in tune with the world around after reading only one chapter of Wild Signs and Star Paths, let alone the book in its entirety' - Royal Institute of Navigation'A beautifully written almanac of tricks and tips that we've lost along the way' - ObserverTristan Gooley, author of the internationally bestselling How to Read a Tree, How To Read Water and The Walker's Guide to Outdoor Clues & Signs, shows how it is possible to achieve a level of outdoors awareness that will enable you to sense direction from stars and plants, forecast weather from woodland sounds and predict the next action of an animal from its body language - instantly.Although once common, this now rare awareness would be labelled by many as a 'sixth sense'. We have become so distanced from this way of experiencing our environment that it may initially seem hard to believe that it is possible, but Tristan Gooley uses a collection of 'keys' to show how everyone can develop this ability and enjoy the outdoors in an exciting way - one that is both new and ancient. Reader reviews?: ? ?: ?: ? 'What a joy to find out that nature is "knowable", not just in a dry academic sense, but as the "birthright" of a natural being.'?: ? ?: ?: ? 'I'm a city dweller and feel that I don't connect with the outdoors enough. I bought this to give me more of an understanding of the way that our environment and nature can guide us.'

Readers of master outdoorsman Tristan Gooley have learned that the world is filled with clues to look for--we can use the Big Dipper to tell time, for example, and a budding flower to find south. But what about the innate survival instincts that told Gooley to move on one night, just as he was about to make camp? Everything looked perfect, but something felt wrong. When Gooley returned to his abandoned campsite to search for clues, there they were: All of the tree trunks were slightly bent. The ground had already shifted once in a storm--and could easily shift again, becoming treacherous in heavy rain. The Nature Instinct shows us how Gooley and other expert observers--from hunters in the English countryside to the Pygmy people in the Congo--have recovered and rekindled this lost "sixth sense;" a subconscious, deeper understanding of our surroundings. By training ourselves through slow, careful observation, we too can unlock this kind of intuition--for finding the forest's edge when deep in the woods, or knowing when a wild animal might pose danger--without even having to stop to think about it. Publisher's note: The Nature Instinct was published in the UK under the title Wild Signs and Star Paths.
