‘When we know what to look for and what it means, seasonal moments that were once hidden <\/b>
shine brightly.’<\/b><\/p>\n
In The Hidden Seasons<\/i>, 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
As with Tristan Gooley’s bestsellers The Walker’s Guide<\/i>, How to Read Water<\/i> and How to Read a Tree<\/i>, The Hidden Seasons<\/i> 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.<\/p>\n
And the seasons will never look, sound or smell the same again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Spring, summer, autumn, winter: the natural world tells the same familiar story year in, year out. But how well do we really understand the seasons? The sun, moon, stars, plants, fungi, animals, water and weather all reflect seasonal changes back to us. We all notice the flowers of spring, the longer days of summer and the colours of autumn. But there’s so much more. Spring is the time of meteor showers, unique cloud shapes and secret woodland sounds. Summer is a time of sky shadows, strange silences and one-off colours. Autumn is laced with curious animal behaviour and warm water phenomena. And in winter we expect ice – but can we read the clues it holds? ‘The Hidden Seasons’ will inspire readers to go outdoors to see these signs for themselves, gifting them so many rich insights into our turning year. The seasons will never look the same again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[98],"product_tag":[26921,26872,51],"class_list":{"0":"post-110070","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-nat-history-popular-science","6":"product_tag-nature-the-natural-world-general-interest","7":"product_tag-trees-wildflowers-plants-general-interest","8":"product_tag-walking-hiking-trekking","9":"pa_book_author-gooley-tristan","10":"pa_cover-hardback","11":"pa_dewey-525-5-edition23","12":"pa_imprint-hodder","13":"pa_language-english","14":"pa_pages-8634","15":"pa_publisher-hodder","16":"pa_readership-general-trade-code-k","18":"first","19":"instock","20":"taxable","21":"shipping-taxable","22":"purchasable","23":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
