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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
