Inhaltsangabe

Thoroughly updated from root to leaf, this revised edition of the groundbreaking What a Plant Knows includes new revelations for lovers of all that is vegetal and verdant.



Plants can hear-and taste things, too!



The renowned biologist Daniel Chamovitz builds on the original edition to present an intriguing look at how plants themselves experience the world-from the colors they see to the schedules they keep, and now, what they do in fact hear and how they are able to taste. 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, What a Plant Knows offers a greater understanding of their place in nature.
