The Revolutionary Genius of Plants: A New Understanding of Plant Intelligence and Behavior by Stefano Mancuso

5.0

I really enjoyed this short book on plants. Plants seem much more intelligent (and devious!) than I realised. I knew they were special, but not quite so sophisticated. Also, Mancuso explains plants as plants, not as planty kinds of animals. They can't move, so they have to adapt to the dangers of their environment, not just escape it. I'm wondering now if perhaps plants haven't simply grown animals in order to produce more plants.......
