Studying plant intelligence reveals humans may have been misunderstanding plants, and ourselves, for all of historyfor fans of The Hidden Life of Trees (Paris Review).A compelling story of discovery . . . It will change the way you see the world. Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding SweetgrassIn this phytobiographya collection of stories written in partnership with a plantresearch scientist Monica Gagliano shares genuine firsthand accounts from her research into plant communication and cognition.By transcending the view of plants as the objects of scientific materialism, Gagliano encourages us to rethink plants as peoplebeings with subjectivity, consciousness, and volition, and hence having the capacity for their own perspectives and voices. The book draws on upcloseandpersonal encounters with the plants themselves, as well as plant shamans, indigenous elders, and mystics from around the world and integrates these experiences with an incredible research journey and the groundbreaking scientific discoveries that emerged from it.Gagliano has published numerous peerreviewed scientific papers on how plants have a Pavlovlike response to stimuli and can learn, remember, and communicate to neighboring plants. She has pioneered the brandnew research field of plant bioacoustics, for the first time experimentally demonstrating that plants emit their own 'voices' and, moreover, detect and respond to the sounds of their environments. By demonstrating experimentally that learning is not the exclusive province of animals, Gagliano has reignited the discourse on plant subjectivity and ethical and legal standing. This is the story of how she made those discoveries and how the plants helped her along the way.
