      abstract = {In this wholly original book, biologist David Haskell uses  a one-square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee forest as  a window onto the entire natural world. Visiting it almost  daily for one year to trace nature's path through the  seasons, he brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid  life. Each short chapter begins with a simple observation:  a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter; the first  blossom of spring wildflowers. From these, Haskell spins a  web of biology and ecology, explaining the science that  binds together the tiniest microbes and the largest mammals  and describing the ecosystems that have cycled for  thousands--sometimes millions--of years. Each visit to the  forest presents a nature story in miniature as Haskell  elegantly teases out the intricate relationships that order  the creatures and plants that call it home. Written with  grace and empathy, The Forest Unseen is a grand tour of  nature in all its profundity.--From publisher description.},
