Description
The book Planta sapiens is a fascinating probe into the inner world of plants based on the latest research on plant intelligence. If we can understand what it is like to be a plant, we could gain much more from the surrounding world. Scientists have documented the abilities of plants for decades. They have proven that plants communicate with each other, manipulate other species, and perform intricate movements. Less known are the latest evidences that plants may possess "consciousness." Although they lack a brain, their microscopic internal processes reveal a system that is not too different from the neural networks in our bodies. They can thus remember, learn, and possess intelligence that allows them to behave adaptively, flexibly, purposefully, and predictively. If we look at plants in a new way, it could fundamentally change our entire understanding of the world.
