Description
Renowned biologist Daniel Chamovitz presents an intriguing look at how plants themselves experience the world - from the colors they see to the schedules they keep. Highlighting the latest discoveries in genetics and more, he takes us into the inner lives of plants and reveals that we have much more in common with sunflowers and oak trees than we may realize. Chamovitz shows how plants know up from down, how they know when a neighbor has been infested by hungry beetles, and whether they appreciate the Led Zeppelin you've been playing for them. Chamovitz encourages us all to consider whether plants might even be aware. A rare inside look at what life is really like for the grass we walk on, the flowers we sniff, and the trees we climb, this book offers a greater understanding of our own place in nature.
