Product Details
- Even today, when concrete is gradually swallowing green, we are always surrounded by plants: We decorate our homes and balconies with them, pass by them on the streets, and watch them in the parks. But do we ever think about what kind of world plants have?In this book, biologist Daniel Chamovitz examines how plants experience the world. In the light of experiments designed by many creative minds, from Charles Darwin and his contemporaries to today's scientists, he explains what plants know through their senses of sight, smell, hearing and touch. It explains how they communicate with each other through a variety of chemicals, how they distinguish up and down, how they respond to touch, what they remember, and how their environment is aware. Thus, it allows us to know the rich world of plants that we know very little about and to look at the world through their eyes.From now on, when you go for a walk in the park, stop and ask yourself, says Chamovitz. What does the dandelion in the grass see? What smells do herbs smell? Touch the leaves of the oak, knowing that you will remember it being touched in the future. But he won't remember you. You will remember that tree and always keep its memory in your memory. Show more
