  • "A captivating journey into the inner lives of plant - from the colours they see to the schedules they keep. How does a Venus flytrap know when to snap shut - can it feel an insect's spindly legs? How do roses know when it's spring - do they remember the weather? Now, in What a Plant Knows, renowned biologist Daniel Chamovitz presents a beguiling exploration of how plants experience our shared Earth - in terms of sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing, memory, and even awareness. Combining cutting-edge research with lively storytelling, Chamovitz explains phenomena such as how a willow tree knows when its neighbours have been commandeered by an army of ravenous beetles, and why an avocado ripens when you give it the company of a banana in a bag. And he settles the debate, once and for all, over whether your beloved basil plant cares if you play Led Zeppelin or Bach. Chamovitz reveals that plants have much in common with people - far more most of us realise. Whether you have a green thumb, or are a science buff, a vegetarian, or simply a nature lover, this rare, inside look at the life of plants will delight all who read it."

  • ""How does a Venus flytrap know when to snap shut? Can it feel an insect's tiny legs? And how do cherry blossoms know when to bloom? Can they actually remember the weather? For centuries we have collectively marveled at plant diversity and form. But now, in What a Plant Knows, the 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, What a Plant Knows offers a greater understanding of our own place in nature."--Book cover, p.[4]."@en
