What a Plant Knows by Chamovitz Daniel

Thoroughly updated from root to leaf, this revised edition of the groundbreaking What a Plant Knows includes new revelations for lovers of all that is vegetal and verdant.

Plants can hear--and taste things, too!

The renowned biologist Daniel Chamovitz builds on the original edition to present an intriguing look at how plants themselves experience the world--from the colors they see to the schedules they keep, and now, what they do in fact hear and how they are able to taste. A rare inside look at what life is really like for the grass we walk on, the flowers we sniff, and the trees we climb, What a Plant Knows offers a greater understanding of their place in nature.

Daniel Chamovitz, Ph.D., is the head of Tel Aviv University's Manna Center for Plant Biosciences. He has lectured at universities all over the world and has been a visiting scientist at Yale University and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. His work has been published in prestigious scientific journals. Chamovitz lives in Hod HaSharon, Israel, with his wife and three children.
