STEM Summer Research Institute: Natural History of Plants: Books at WCC

Neurobiologist Mancuso reveals the ability of plants to innovate, to remember, and to learn. Plants perceive their surroundings with a greater sensitivity than animals. They efficiently explore and react promptly to potentially damaging external events and can remember prior catastrophic events and actively adapt to new ones.

Based on the six-part BBC program by writer and filmmaker David Attenborough, this book delivers an intimate view of the plant world where multitudes of miniature dramas unfold.
