Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers ANew Understanding of Life on Earth
Description
Plants sense, communicate, remember, learn, and adapt in ways that challenge conventional ideas about intelligence—and their quiet abilities may reshape how we understand life itself. Drawing on cutting-edge research and vivid encounters with scientists and the natural world, this book explores the hidden networks, chemical conversations, and sophisticated behaviors that allow plants to navigate changing environments. It invites readers to reconsider humanity’s place within the living world, illuminating themes of interconnectedness, resilience, evolution, and ecological responsibility. Engaging and deeply reported, it offers a compelling new perspective on the intelligence woven throughout Earth’s ecosystems.
