The Hidden Seasons: The inspirational guide to navigating nature's clues and signs - Hardcover

Discover the Hidden Wonders of the Seasons

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 – clues we continually miss because we don't know how and where to look.

Seasonal Highlights:

• Autumn:
  A time for reading leaves, deciphering scents, and investigating fungi.
• Spring:
  The time of wildflower signs, unique cloud shapes, and curious animal behaviour.
• Summer:
  A season filled with coastal clues, astronomical extremes, and secret grass patterns.
• Winter:
  Learn to read snow, deepen your 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, offering rich insights into the turning year.

Soon, you 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.
