Title: The research on plant intelligence
Post by: Shortsighted on June 12, 2025, 03:05:51 PM

ATT:  Dr. John ...  I've recently read "The Light Eaters" by Zoe Schlanger, a book dedicated to presenting the research into what is being called plant intelligence.  I strongly recommend that you, or your wife consider reading it.  If you choose not to read it, no worries ... there will NOT be a test.  You may view plants in a whole new way.

Looks interesting.  I'll put it on my gift request list.


One of the most interesting nature-related books I've read in recent years is Entangled Life by Melvin Sheldrake - a fascinating exploration of fungi.  Another one is An Immense World by Ed Yong about animal senses.

I'll look into them.  Thanks.
