What a Plant knows
I was unaware of how many similarities in genes, DNA, cells, plants have with humans. This book did a good job of explaining the science of plants. Anyone who enjoys science and plants will find this book interesting.

An interesting book that looks at different ways a plant is aware of their surroundings. I’m always amazed at the different tests that are conducted to discover these things.

I love the fact that it presents the studies that were done to prove each of the senses that plants seem to have. It is well thought out and put into terms that most people would be able to understand. It is insightful and gives you a better understanding of how plants could have senses, even if they do not have a central nervous system. I would say it is a must-read for anyone who loves plants or wants to have a better understanding of what senses are. After all, we have very little understanding of how the senses might work in alien life forms. This could give everyone an insight into how other forms of life could have senses without having a central nervous system.

The information was fascinating, but I found the science hard to follow at some points.
