The Light Eaters
by Zoe Schlanger
It takes tremendous biological creativity to be a plant. To live and thrive while rooted in a single place, plants have adapted ingenious methods of survival. In recent years, scientists have learned about their ability to communicate, to recognize their kin and behave socially, to hear sounds, to morph their bodies in order to blend in to their surroundings, to store useful memories that inform their life cycle, and even to trick animals into behaving to their benefit.
An eye-opening and informative look at the ecosystems we live in, this book challenges us to rethink the role of plants—and our own place—in the natural world.
