Description
English journalist and writer Simon Barnes, in his book The Green Planet, states that in the world of plants, nothing is as it seems. Plants can be just as aggressive and competitive as animals, and their fates are often similarly dramatic. We will discover plants that mercilessly consume their host plants, as well as those that form deep and complex relationships with other species of organisms. We will journey from one environment to another, from the most species-rich rainforests to harsh deserts, where the existence of life seems impossible. We will also look at seasonal contrasts, how the landscape changes almost unrecognizably throughout the year. And we will move into the water, where all life began. Using the latest technologies and showcasing more than two decades of discoveries, the book reveals the astonishing life of plants like never before - a life full of remarkable behaviors and emotional stories. This publication accompanies the successful documentary series from the BBC, which was collaborated on by Sir David Attenborough.
