This is a fascinating look at what senses a plant has, and how they are similar to (or different from) ours. Chamovitz takes us through the different senses and gives us a look at what a plant can see, smell, and feel, showing the scientific process while keeping the language simple enough for the average person to understand. (Though the references in the back provide plenty of additional material if you want a deeper dive.) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Plantscan hear--and taste things, too! Thoroughly updated from root to leaf, this revised edition of the groundbreakingWhat a Plant Knows includes new revelations for lovers of all that is vegetal and verdant. The renowned biologist Daniel Chamovitz builds on the original edition to present an intriguing look at how plants themselves experience the world--from the colors they see to the schedules they keep, and now, what they do in fact hear and how they are able to taste. 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 their place in nature.

This book compares plant "senses" to human ones, so the reader gets to learn not only about botany, but also a little human anatomy and physiology, which I really liked!
The downside is one common to many books on science: evolutionary theory is frequently referenced as fact. ( )
