Secret Knowledge of Plants. What Flowers and Trees See, Hear, and Remember

Like all living things on the planet, plants have finely developed sensory and regulatory systems that allow them to change and adapt to changes in their environment. But can plants feel: distinguish colors, perceive taste and smell, orient themselves in space, and experience emotions? What music does mimosa and marigolds prefer? What mechanism causes the "jaws" of the Venus flytrap to snap shut? What aromas provoke accelerated ripening of pears and avocados? You will find the answers to these and other questions in the book by the renowned biologist Daniel Chamovitz. Drawing on the results of the latest research by contemporary scientists, Chamovitz explains the principles of one of the human senses and compares this mechanism to a similar one present in plants. Take a look into the amazing world of living, sensing plants - intriguing discoveries await you!
