Books, too, have spirits
Mine tell stories about nature, ancient wisdom, and the miracles of life
Nature is never silent
My first book is proof that just ten minutes can change your life. After giving a Science Slam about my rabbit research, I was contacted by literary agency. They enjoyed my presentation so much that they invited me to write a book.
The rest is the story of a book that takes readers on a fascinating journey into the remarkable world of communication in nature - where fish lie, rabbits have their own social networks, and crabs pee on each other.
The books has been published in eight languages.
"Ziege has an engaging style, and, for a book dealing with difficult concepts, Nature Is Never Silent makes for a pleasurable read … I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who has listened to birds in the bush, and wondered what the sounds meann."
-The Canberra Times
"It's always amazing how talkative nature is ― very enlightening and entertaining!"
- Peter Wohlleben
"Communication between animals and plants takes on a whole new dimension"

The unbelievable power of nature
During my PhD, I kept coming back to the same question: Are Frankfurt's urban rabbits more stressed than their countryside relatives? And what is stress, really?
The answer was surprising: Stress has earned a worse reputation than it deserves. From an evolutionary perspective, it's an essential signal that something in our environment isn't right—a guide that encourages all living beings to move away from what harms them and toward a place where they can thrive.
In this book, you'll discover what animals and plants can teach us about dealing with stress—and how you, too, can harness the remarkable wisdom of nature to live a healthier, more balanced life.
The book will soon be available in English.
