About this product

Product Information

Authors Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird reveal why the most pivotal revolution of the twenty-first century-one that could save or destroy the planet-may begin at the bottom of your garden. The Secret Life of Plants invokes the latest scientific discoveries to rewrite our understanding of plants and the natural world, offering insights about the unforeseen reach of sentience among plants, their ability to communicate and adapt, and their function as ecological sentinels.

    A book that raises our consciousness about the truth nature of plants.

    This book is revolutionary, written many years ago, but more relevant than ever as we need to connect to nature and help save our home, our Earth and the plant life on it. This book teaches us about our own ignorance. Plants feel. To the point of actually being able to judge character in humans, they are sensitive to life. This book is for anyone that loves nature and plants and wants to a better deeper relationship with plant life and the Earth.

  • You will love this book.

    I am so impressed b the information in this book. If I had read this when I was young, I would have studied botany instead. If you could get a child to put down their phone, they might just be swept into the world of science.

  • All life matters, plants included.

    If you feel or suspect that life is sacred this book will help you understand that plants are an important part of the web of life. First read it when it was originally published decades ago and it has stayed in my consciousness since. This was bought to replace a copy lent out and not returned.

  • The same as we are, only better!

    The life of plants is something I already know about with my own experiences with them, but this book only proves what I already knew, people can't call me a crazy lady anymore now!People being what they are, will not cherish a plant for being a special form of life, but only try to exploit it for their own use. I think a plant could reveal the secret of life to us if we were not so blind!!!!! Smell the roses!!!!!

  • compelling and fun read

    loads of well researched information on all aspects of the plant kingdom, from plant communication to basic soil science and the relationship between plants and humans
